These bugs are on the outside of my coop. There is nothing on my chickens. I've checked and re-checked. My chickens dust bathe daily and have nothing crawling on them. Could someone please help me identify these oval shaped bugs?
I only find them on the window ledge, under a rock that sits...
Yesterday morning I found two round worms on the dropping boards. So I knew I had to worm again. I wormed early spring with Wazine and now it is hotter it seems I have to worm again.
So after reading and reading and reading, I purchased Safeguard goat wormer at Tractor Supply. Here is the...
I have three silkies in with my other hens. There wasn't an issue until my one silkie molted during winter, as it wasn't as cold like usual. She kept picking and picking at her feathers coming back in. Three times, I've pulled out the broken bloody feathers, separated her from the bigger hens...
Well I caved and finally put Pin Tar on my Light Brahma rooster. He is so mild he lets everyone pick his feathers out. ATM he is molting so his neck is naked, butt is naked, under his wings are naked. I removed the RIR because they broke skin on him in two areas. I'm not sure if I will be...
I have a very sick chicken. She has little to no appetite does not drink much and is as light as a feather. I am syringe feeding her scrambled eggs and yogurt. She does peck every now and then in between my syringe feedings. I did put electrolytes in her water, she takes a few sips, but not...
I currently have two silkie roosters 13wks old I was hoping were ladies, but a few crows changed my thinking. So I am looking for two silkie hens to pair with my Roos. II can pick up if not too far. I am in WNY.
Thank you

My light brahma rooster has red legs that look swollen but he shows no signs of being sick. I thought mites so I dusted for them and cleaned out both coops. No change. Then he was dusted for lice and I put Vaseline on his legs to smother mites. Still no change. All chickens have been wormed...
I let my chickens out and my only rooster has a wing drooping down.
He can flap it and I can stretch it just like the other side. He is eating fin running away from me great also. Is this a possible sprain or mating dance?
It was warm so I let my ladies out for a snow cone treat. They were out a bit and seemed ok, but when I checked on them tonight my red was limping. I think it is frostbite. Her feet are a little cold. She can walk but limps. I brought her inside and put her in a cage with towels as well as...
Well my RiR are at it again. My one rooster, who is molting, is being pecked at by my hens again. They stopped for a bit but I went in today and his new tail that was coming in was all pecked at and bloody. He is the last of his kind that I have the other two were pecked to death :( . The hens...
