Yep! They will run back under fluff when exposed. Its difficult to get photos but i managed to snap a few good ones.
I suspect they have scaley leg mites as well... and i have no money nor am i getting payed for this but im trying my best
I had checked them a month before and couldnt reach them again till now. I can follow up but as of right now its hard for me to find transportation.
I have and will use neosporin.
I havent done much yet just soaked a few in epsom/dawn dish
Then blowdried with stress breaks.
:hit In about 2 hours i will be helping a friend with a large hen flock infested with lice, mites, overgrown hen spurs, bumblefoot, and overall animal neglect.
As this was short notice i do not have most material access!!
I am a teen not a pro!! although ive researched and owned chickens...
I love the easy cleaning feature. The heavy wooden coops sold in farm stores are cheaply made. The rough wooden surface or easily scratched plastic absorbs moisture and harbors bacteria and dust.
Diatomaceous earth and excrement also sticks to the boards. I love the removable trays and ability...
As long as its definitely color and not dirt most likely then you have a partridge/black mix. Youll likely get more partridge or loose the partridge through molts
Im on good terms with her daughter whos a similar age to me
Although she can do very minimal things for the chickens, i will be supplying the tools and care.
There is no compensation, due to the mom not caring wether or not theyre sick. I did get some free pop though 😅
Definitely a learning...
Yes, unfortunately. She originally apparently planned to kill and eat the new chickens she introduced. She clearly has done zero research due to her not understanding that older chickens yield worse meat in taste and supply and lay less eggs.
Yes, but I wouldnt ever be able to see those people again, and id rather just try my best to treat their chickens.
They are a very big and protective family.
I think their flock of 15 chickens all have lice or mites. The smaller bantams with thicker clean white bottom feathers have mites and even most of her original chickens have lice.
The mom does not care about the condition of the animals.
I will be going back next week to take care of them...
Im a small backyard flock owner of 7 happy birds of various breeds. I am still a student, and im known for being a chicken lady. I get a call from another student whos mom recently got more chickens from one of their friends to add to their flock... which they added to their flock WITHOUT...
Last entry...
