Hi all,
I’ve had my 4 girls for 7 and 1/2 years and this is the first time they’ve ever had fleas on their faces.
I’ve put DE on the areas they take dust baths in, changed out their bedding and put DE, but should I be doing something else?? Most things I’ve seen people recommend have been to...
The flock has remained the same! No changes. From what I've observed her behavior is normal, she eats, drinks, and still engaged in exploring the yard. I got some photos of her.
Hey all!
My light brown leghorn usually has a vibrant and tall comb, but it seems like it's gone a little pale and limp. Doesn't stand up like it used to and the tips are all droopy. It's quite sad!
Also, she seems to be losing feathers on her face? This morning there were a bunch of white pins...
Ameraucanas are known to take their time to start laying! And my brown leghorn was my last one to start laying! All you can really do is give it time and let them mature. They'll lay eventually! Just be patient :)
FYI this chicken ended up passing last night.
Turns out she had fluid in her lungs as well as excessive grit in her crop and her gut that formed a blockage she couldn't poop out.
Weird combination of things.
She hasn't lost weight surprisingly, she's actually been growing! She used to be the smallest. I'm having my husband pick up safeguard now to treat everyone. Because if she does have worms it's only a matter of time before everyone else gets it! Can't decide to get safeguard for goats or horses haha
Oh and it appears she is having yellowish diarrhea but barely any comes out at a time.
Mine are tame enough I could probably trick them with bread. What's the dosage?
Just let them all out into the yard, normally this one is the first one out, running and flying around. But today she walked very slowly out and is just standing there.
