What’s a suggestion for mite control. I have straw and shaving on dirt floor in coop. About 3 inches thick. Keep coop nice a warm for winter and just rotate it daily. I’m having a problem keeping the girls free of mites. I’ve dusted them once already a few months back. What is everybody using...
last week I was cleaning coop I always sit with them after just to watch for anything unusual. Well one of my roosters looked like he was yawning opening his mouth but almost trying to get air. Looked strange. Then this week I saw a hen do the same thing. I went out this afternoon and I have a...
What is the best way to spray my girls for mites. I have tried to do it but they move around so much. I pulled her wings open and sprayed then tried to move her feathers so to get to her skin. I did around her belly back of neck around tail. But as I said really hard. Suggestions please. I did...
I want to get rid of these roosters. They are constantly attacking the hens. When I say attacking I mean breeding. To the point they wait till dusk when they are trying to get in coop and chase them all over. I have 30 hens and have had only one rooster. But in the process of buying chicks from...
I have 12 2week old chicks. I have a hen that has 3 chicks she’s been raising. They are a good 6 weeks old. Can I put the babies in the same coop with her. Will she raise them.
My neighbor just told me she found a round worm in an egg I sold her. I bought safe guard but don’t know how much to put in watering pan. I want to treat all 30 chickens because I don’t know who is infected. Plus how to I treat dirt floor in coop and run. They free range.
What is the best dewormer. I’m not sure if they do but I have never done it and I have a couple of hens that have diarrhea. Very watery and brown in color.
My chickens are molting right now. They look bad but still healthy. I have one she eats and does everything normal but this morning while watching her eat watermelon I kept hearing this bubbling sound for lack of a better word. I have separated her and wondering what I should give her. Like I...
Yesterday morning I feed my girls bananas. They were in my cabinet and had gotten soft and would be good for banana bread. Just for an example of how ripe they were. So everyone is fine but I noticed one is walking around like she’s drunk. I separated her she was still alive this morning so I...
I noticed my hen was walking around with her tail down and poopy butt. She pecked around foraging would eat and drink but Lethargic. Her breathing was labored so much she walked around with her beak open when she sat her whole body would move to her breathing. Oh and I heard what sounded like...
My hen was like sneezing yesterday. I think that’s what she was doing. Today I hear like a moaning sound and it’s her. She looks fine but she doesn’t sound right. No other hens are doing it. Is she sick? I separated her.
My hen is making noise when breathing. She looks fine but yesterday afternoon she walked by me and it was like she was sneezing and today I can hear her breath or I think it’s her breathing. Kinda like a moaning sound. I just separated her to coop. Is she sick and is it contagious. No one else...
I have two young roosters who look at me as a threat. Don’t know why but they do. I’ll be walking and they will run behind me and kick at me. When I turn around they run away just far enough and when I start to walk again they run to me as if to scare me away. What do I do to make them stop?
Have a chicken who has sour crop. I’ve done the natural remedies and now on the monistat 3% she still isn’t eating. It’s been 3weeks. And she’s blind in one eye. Everyday I go out and say I’m gonna cull her but then I sit and talk to her and she’ll make her chicken sounds and I give her one more...
