    Sick Hen. What is it? Contagious??

    I think it was the diatomaceous earth I put in the coop, her comb is bright red and I read how it can cause issues like this. There are no new birds introduced. I will worm them and dust them with gardstar and hope she pulls through. DE causes issues and I don’t think it will be contagious to...

    Sick Hen. What is it? Contagious??

    The symptoms include crackled breathing (like she’s gargling something), sometimes she coughs but nothing comes up. Her throats clear and I don’t she anything blocking her airway.

    I have a Chicken Lice problem and need advice

    My father in law is telling me about putting the poultry dust in a pillow case and then putting the bird in the pillow case and then letting the chicken flap around for a few seconds. Would that work?

    What the heck is wrong with these hens?!?!

    It could be both the rooster and a type of early molt, I will to spread some DE around the coop too if it’s those darn red mites. I have some left over grower that I can feed those couple hens.

    What the heck is wrong with these hens?!?!

    I don’t think I will be able to get picture under the wing, they are not very tame and don’t like to be touched. We used to have two roosters but I took care of him and now we only have the one. The one we kept doesn’t seem to have a favorite.

    What the heck is wrong with these hens?!?!

    Would that cause bald spots where no feathers grow, I know the rooster mounts them on their “shoulders” but I didn’t think it would bald the feathers underneath

    What breed is this brown, speckled chick?

    Easter Eggers come in many different variants and the feather patterns look similar to when my Easter Egger looked. Cute polish chick by the way.

    Horizontal Nipple Waterers... in your opinion, yes or no?

    I would not recommend putting multiple open water dishes around your property, the water can create a horrible mosquito problem if you live in an area with a higher humidity. Just want to warn you if you start to see an increase in those pestering mosquitoes.
