    lice eggs

    So, I have discovered that the sneezing of a few of my chickens is caused by lice. And the lice eggs are not located on the vent as most forums will say, but actually in the beard of the chicken at the face. I have treated for several weeks with DE and pour on ivermectin. All but one chicken has...

    I went to the coop today and cannot find 12 of my chickens. Never have they roamed away from their coop more than sight distance. There is snow on the ground, there is no blood, there is no feathers, no signs of a struggle. I don't get it. As a result, I'm done, I'm selling my flock and 4...

    36 hours into pip & no progress

    5 eggs pipped externally and 4 hatched within 24 hours. I am more than positive the one going on 36 hours pipped externally is dead.

    encourage broodiness?

    I purchased a laying silkie 2 weeks ago from a friend. she has laid 2 eggs since. My friend collected 11 fertile eggs and I have put them in with the others. I've placed water and food and enclosed the hen in a 2x4 foot enclosure that is dark and surrounded on 3 sides (kind of like a dog house)...

    Adopted Mallard questions

    I adopted 2 mallards- I believe they are both female. One will sit on top of the dog house and call and raise all kinds of racket several times a day. I love it, but what is the meaning of this? The same as a rooster crowing? Also, I clipped both of their primary flight feathers last night as...

    Now I'm mad

    I can handle a random death, but after 3, I'm very angry. I purchased 7 bantams and 2 indian runners about 3 weeks ago. I will leave home in the morning and come home, they are gone. I've lost 2 banams and 1 duck so far. I've never fed this non-medicated poultry flock feed that the store...

    New member

    After several months of stalking the pages and forums, I finally joined today! I recently had to rebuild my flock because a dog killed every single one of my chickens. I have 3 silkies about 3 months old. An Americauna-Silkie cross rooster (atleast that's what I was told) and apparently he...
