This morning i heard all chickens have it. We stocked up on tobacco stems and we're going to lay them inside the coop. I can't find anything like pyrethrins but i could find other mite sprays, and my mom also bought a powder that they can eat so the mites won't like the blood anymore. Is there...
I just put our chickens in the coop and noticed one of my roosters had small insects all over his face and some on his feathers. I immediately thought of blood lice. How do you treat it? This is my first experience with it.
So 3 of my 8 hens are taking turns sitting in 2 nest boxes. They just sit there really puffed up and when i put my hand in the box they make a screeching sound. They never pick me and let me get the eggs from underneath them, thats why i don't really think they are broody. It's still weird...
Her wings are a bit droopy, but i havent seen any weird droppings, no worms to be seen. We did have other turkey food a couple of days ago and we just gave them their normal food again.
We have a turkey hen that has a greyish head for about 4 days now, and has had one weird egg without shell. Normally she has a pinkish head but its just a weird color now. I was thinking about not enough iron or calcium but maybe someone has another idea?
Ours are brahma's so they are supposed to be quite calm too, but he is taking things too far. We don't really interact too much with him and he can be normal as well, but some things like some types of shoes just trigger him or something? We do have a rake that he is afraid of. We never really...
Last year, we got 4 chicks because we wanted to start keeping chickens. Turned out, 3 of 4 chicks were cockerels. More then a year later, one of them is clearly on top of th hierarchy and started to attack us if we wear the wrong shoes? (he doesn't like bright colours). He also doesn't like my...
We can probably keep them seperated for a while. It's a shame they need to be kept in their coop because of a bird flu. Otherwise they would have more space so she can get away from them.
It's mating season over here, and one of my pullets is clearly a favorite. I was checking up on her this evening and she has a bloody face. They pecked a couple of pieces off of her comb and i just feel really bad for her. She is one out of 8 pullets (i know, probably need more) but they have...
So we have this 9 month old black turkey and my grandpa keeps thinking it's a tom. I don't believe it so i want to hear others opinions.
I also have a video but i can't post that.
You can treat her with that, but if it doesn't really help you can maybe just wait and see what happens? Maybe it is some type of intestinal lining (never had any experience with that so i don't really know). I hope the copper sulfate will help though, keep me updated!
I treated them with a dewormer but the brand is not available in America. Can you bring her to a vet or is it closed? Maybe something wrong with her intestines (tumors?)
Will do! Is it cold where you live? That could explain why they are not laying right now. Out of four laying chickens i maybe have one egg a day. And could the blobs be coccidosis or is it really jelly instead of liquid blood? Maybe a bacterial infection could also cause this.
I watched them for a couple of more days just to be sure. There are no more worms in their poop and we still need to do a second round of deworming, so that's a pretty good sign! Great to hear that all is well with your chickens / other birds! 😁
