I treated my small flock with elector psp 2 weeks ago for lice but some still have grey eggs attached to their vent feathers. Do I need to treat again? Are these going to hatch and start all over again? The coop was cleaned and sprayed as well.
I noticed lice eggs and messy rears on some of my hens. I treated them all with elector psp twice. Coops was deep cleaned and treated. She still has the eggs after 2 weeks? Little grey looking sacks? What can I do. Are they going to hatch?
A few of my hens have messy butts and then looking closer I noticed little grey eggs stuck to feathers, which I found online are lice eggs?? Only one hen has them. Assuming I should treat them all? A few are missing neck feathers too Do I also need to get rid of bedding and spray down the coop...
My flock is all on non-medicated chick feed due to two baby chicks hatching. Could this be a reason that a few hens seem to have poopy butts? I’m tired of washing chickens butts. Should I try a probiotic?
I have a hen with a reoccurring poopy end. I clean and trim the feathers. She seams ok for a while then it comes back. One time it looked a little prolapsed but I did push back in. I have treated the flock with corrid to be safe. What else can try?
I currently have plastic nesting boxes but thinking of switching to a 4 hole galvanized steel one to create more space. Anyone know how these are in the cold winters? Will that bother the hens?
I have a 1.5 year old hen that always has a poopy butt. I’ve washed her off and don’t see any mites or eggs. Skin looks fine. Tried electrolytes, Corid. She’s lost a few feathers but otherwise seems normal. Any advise? None of my other hens are having problems.
I keep seeing mixed messages about egg withdrawal while giving Tylosin mixed in water for respiratory infections. I am mixing it with their water. Is there a withdrawal period?
A few of my hens had some congestion & rattly breathing. I treated them with smz antibiotic (in their water)from a local vet for 5 days. When should they show improvement ? I don’t hear the rattling but still some congestion. Friday was their last treatment.
I have had a hen with some weird sounding congestion and almost gurgling sounds. It’s been about 2 weeks. Try some Vet RX. Now another one has started doing it. Fairly new chicken lady and have not experienced this. They otherwise seems healthy and still laying eggs. Any recommendations? Do I...
Does this look broken? She is a new young hen. And was kept in a small area with 2 other young hens. I don’t see how she could have gotten injured. Is there anything I can do?
Any ideas of what this is from? I don’t see any mites or lice in her. Is she being pecked on? I used some spray to help it. Doesn’t seem to be working. The hen next to her has a small spot too. My other 7 hens are fine.
Hello!
We insulted our coop last fall because ND winters are brutal. Now I have what I believe is a rat problem. Lots of holes chewed, insulation all over and large feces (bigger than mice droppings). I started talking out insulation, and put hardware clothes on the outside is building. Rat...
