I treated my small flock with elector psp 2 weeks ago for lice but some still have grey eggs attached to their vent feathers. Do I need to treat again? Are these going to hatch and start all over again? The coop was cleaned and sprayed as well.
I noticed lice eggs and messy rears on some of my hens. I treated them all with elector psp twice. Coops was deep cleaned and treated. She still has the eggs after 2 weeks? Little grey looking sacks? What can I do. Are they going to hatch?
A few of my hens have messy butts and then looking closer I noticed little grey eggs stuck to feathers, which I found online are lice eggs?? Only one hen has them. Assuming I should treat them all? A few are missing neck feathers too Do I also need to get rid of bedding and spray down the coop...
My flock is all on non-medicated chick feed due to two baby chicks hatching. Could this be a reason that a few hens seem to have poopy butts? I’m tired of washing chickens butts. Should I try a probiotic?
I have a hen with a reoccurring poopy end. I clean and trim the feathers. She seams ok for a while then it comes back. One time it looked a little prolapsed but I did push back in. I have treated the flock with corrid to be safe. What else can try?
Started with 6 and have 2 left! Today is day 21!! I recently separated her in a dog kennel but in the coop. This is my first time, she went broody and I got fertilized eggs from a local lady. I hope to have them with the flock but will watch them close.
I currently have plastic nesting boxes but thinking of switching to a 4 hole galvanized steel one to create more space. Anyone know how these are in the cold winters? Will that bother the hens?
I have a 1.5 year old hen that always has a poopy butt. I’ve washed her off and don’t see any mites or eggs. Skin looks fine. Tried electrolytes, Corid. She’s lost a few feathers but otherwise seems normal. Any advise? None of my other hens are having problems.
