    Solved Advance notice would have been nice!

    As much as I LOVE this site, I really think it would be a lot better if you would tell those of us who want to post "comments" on certain subjects here, that we have a WORD LIMITATION before we spend 20 mins putting something together only to find out when we hit "post" that it is too long...

    Update on Abigail & Henrietta!

    Promised I'd give an update in a few weeks on their legs/feet after having treated them both for Scaly Leg Mites. I'm pleased to report they are both doing very nicely. They both had veggie oil dips @ 5 mins each X 8; 3 applications of NuStock and will get their feet/legs coated with Vaseline...

    Need expert advice/opionion please....

    First, I need to give a little background on my two Barred Rock hens, 2 yrs old now: Abigail came to us 1 yr ago WITH this growth on her leg...we noticed it but figured it was a birth defect. However, since she developed leg mites a few months later - we were led to believe that growth was a...

    Hen walking with rear hunched down...

    Yesterday afternoon, my hen (2 yrs old) was walking around in their free-range area with her back end hunched down....as if she were trying to either relieve herself or lay an egg. It was heart-breaking to watch but she did manage to get up into the roosting area of the 2-story coop because we...

    FEATHER FIXER w/Mite Fighter!

    We just bought a 40-pound bag of Feather Fixer to help them get thru molting faster and better AND we discovered that it has mite fighter in it! We had no idea it had that but their online video explains it and exactly HOW it works....pretty neat stuff! After they are normal again in the...

    Scaly leg mite cure in 2 treatments!

    Just had to share this amazing product with everyone on here who find these critters on their chicken's legs! It's been around 30+ years and I've read on here that you only have to do it once, wait 2 or 3 days and then again and you're done! Apparently it smells horrible and you must wear...

    RID lice shampoo for scaly legs?

    Any one try holding your hen's legs into a bowl or pot with RID LICE shampoo in it to rid them of scaly leg mites? The idea of slathering greasy, sticky Vaseline or other oily substances on their legs just doesn't sound right to me and I imagine they'd have a hard time staying upright on their...

    Just curious!

    In July 2016, we bought two pullet Barred Rocks, however, they look so different from one another even now, we are curious if one may have something wrong with her. The hen in my profile pic is Abigail. She has a "full figure" and lays eggs that are dark brown with thick shells that are also...

    Revolutionary method to watering!

    First time starting a new subject on BYC, but this must be shared! After being a "slave' to my watering method, I finally couldn't take it anymore so I went on the web and put in "top-rated chicken watering system" and found something I never heard of before! Not cheap, but I found it on Ebay...

    Our inexpensive coop & chicken run!

    We are new to this but wanted to give our "girls" the best we could afford so we got this coop kit on line, picked it up at our local Home Depot, and went from there. We didn't care for the color (barn red) so I sealed/stained it in CA Rustic to match our backyard fence, deck and porch...it...

    Alpha Hen in flock of two??

    Good morning, everyone! I'm a "newbie" here, so I'll make this as short as possible! This is about our "flock of two" with an alpha hen. All the articles I've read on line (to date) have only talked about the "alpha" hen in a flock. What I need to know is - is it normal to have an alpha in...
