We have had SO much rain this year too!!! Muddy and smelly in the back where all the grass/vegetation has been scratched up. Glad for it finally drying out!! I'm not sure what to do when it's so muddy either??
Maybe 8 out of 20. Hoping I didn't have to try and catch them. Maybe catch them at night. I think the oil is supposed to suffocate the mites. I have used cooking oil in a spray bottle.
I sometimes spray the floor and roosts with bleach water.
Some of my chickens have bumpy, gnarly feet. I read it's mites. I think you can spray their feet with oil.
Do I need to catch them individually and spray oil on their feet/legs??
Or is there an easier way to treat them??
Can you do anything for a growth on the top of my silkie's foot? It's bumpy and almost an inch in diameter?? Is it a tumor? I wonder if she will bleed to death if it gets pulled or pecked?
My Guinea has a growth hanging from her side. It is transparent--bluish and pink. It looks awful!!
I guess it's a tumor. I'm afraid that it will burst open!! It looks awful!!
I suppose it will kill her, if it bursts!
I don't know what to do for her, that won't cost a lot of money!
Is there...
How much niacin do ducklings need mixed in with their feed?? I have been adding one tsp to 2 cups of feed/mesh. Is that about right?? The duckies are 4 wks old
My khaki had part of her foot bitten off by a turtle. Looks like the joints are broken too, probably pulled it trying to get away!! I have been spraying it with Banixx. What can I do without spending a lot of money?? She is eating okay now and otherwise healthy. It was black--and smelled...
The duck eggs that I'm saving for hatching are dirty--dried on dirt. I rubbed off what I could, but shouldn't I spot wash them?? Will the dirt interfere with the eggs hatching??
