    Ivermectin Paste to treat lice?

    After bathing one of my girls this morning I found some lice on her, she is not infested, but of course I'm terrified! I have a tube of horse dewormer on hand, can I use a small amount on all 80ish chickens to treat for lice? Or do I need to get liquid? Thank you for any advice, this is a first...

    Such a sad day

    Lost 6 layers, and 9 babies early this morning after the heat lamp had fallen and caught fire. I feel so stupid. I should have known better, I should have planned better. They weren't just chickens, they were my happy place. Thankfully my silkies all made it (they were in a pen beside of the...

    Tumor?

    I have a polish chick, the last of 3, that has suddenly started having a turrets twitch, and out of nowhere a huge tumor-like growth (about the size and shape of an egg) . It is still eating and drinking, and still social and acting ok otherwise. Any ideas? I don't want to lose this one, it is...

    Broken leg, or dislocated?

    Not sure what happened with this little one, I moved them outside 3 days prior to noticing the injury. I have no clue what to do. The red spot is a bone, it isn't breaking the skin, but you can see it is sticking out. Thank you for any advice you may have!

    Caught a Possum trying to kill my silkie rooster, need to reinforce coop. Ideas?

    I converted a 12x12 chain link dog pen in to a coop for my silkies (it has fencing covering it as well), and last night woke up to a very upset rooster and ran outside to find the possum with the entire hind end of the rooster (only the feathers) in its mouth. After I startled it and we stared...

    Black silkie hen + cream with brown silkie male = ?

    Expecting our babies around May 4, and was curious to know what colors to expect out of this pair. I do not know anything about their parents sadly. Thank you for any insight you may have![/IMG]

    Silkie pullet not walking, moves backwards only

    I have a silkie hen that I originally thought was just blind (after trimming around eyes). She has always backed her way into a corner. I have kept her with her friend who seems to assist her in getting to the food and water. She sleeps on the ground, and as of today isn't using her legs, but...
