    Not sure what this is?

    Can’t seem to find that, but she doesn’t trust me yet so she kind of hard to get to stay still. I will go in today and spray her with BlueKote. Yes she was in with quite a few other chickens and ducks. The owner had bought too many this year and needed to rehome a few. Thank u so much for your help

    Not sure what this is?

    Just picked up some new birds. They are 3-4 months old so they aren’t molting. But when I got home I noticed this on one of the Easter eggers. As you can see. It looks like Broken and plucked feather above the tail and tail feathers missing under the tail? The tail looks really skimpy to me. Any...

    What kind of bugs are these?

    I think your right. I think they are Fungus gnats. I was researching red mites that live in the soil and found this. Because I tracked the little red bugs to the soil next to my chicken coop and they are crawling up one of the legs of my chicken coop. When I found these bugs a couple months ago...

    What kind of bugs are these?

    So a little update. They are coming from the soil by my chicken coop again and then crawling up the leg of my coop. Is that typical of mites?

    What kind of bugs are these?

    OK, I had Permethrin powder not the spray. I powdered the floor of my coop and the pull out drawer. And also the walls in the nesting boxes. I also sprayed the outside of the coop with the oil solution. It seems like I would’ve noticed the chickens scratching or preening themselves more. But...

    What kind of bugs are these?

    I’m in eureka California. They Don’t quite look like any of the mites I’ve seen pictures of. Maybe clover mites or spider mites from what I’m seeing on Google? I don’t know if this helps but a couple months back I first spotted them in the soil next to my chicken coop. Then I started finding a...

    What kind of bugs are these?

    Hi all!!! I found these bugs a couple months back on the floor of my chicken run and on the outside of my chicken house. Just a few like 5 to 10. I sprayed with some oil solution and they seem to be gone. Until I was cleaning out the chicken house again a couple days ago. Again just a couple on...

    Strange egg thing then no more eggs

    Hi everyone, I posted about my silky laying a very strange Eggy stringy thing last week. She was fluffed up and sick that day after laying the strange substance. A little background information- it was her first time laying again after being broody. But since that day she seems normal again but...

    Strange thing attached to egg

    Just an update: thanks for all the replies! I’m not exactly sure what was going on with her, but she seems back to her normal self. I think the yellow in her dropping some might have been some yolk. But it seems resolved now. Although, she hasn’t laid an egg since the incident a couple days ago...

    Maybe a new layer?!

    Yesterday I got a rather small egg and a little bit of a different shape. Yesterday I suspected one of my other bantams started laying. She was really loud and she never makes a peep usually. And over the last week her comb has gotten bigger and more red. Oh and she also started squatting a...
