    Anybody knows what this might be on my chicken? An abcess???

    II was kind of thinking the same thing, I am going to start her on something, but what antibiotic should I use with her? I know we've used teramyacin before..just wonder if that would work for this??

    Anybody knows what this might be on my chicken? An abcess???

    Other than the "lump" on her "cheek" this hamburg hen is eating/laying fine. She isn't raspy or having difficulty breathing and there aren't any other symptoms. Should I be worried?? Should I be treating her with something? If I should be treating her, what should I treat her with?? Thanks...

    I'm pretty sure my chickens have lice???..ugh..but....

    Well, we dusted everyone.....even the one's who I didn't physically see the lice on...and again, the ones that I did see the lice one weren't bad, nothing at the base of the feathers or anything..which is good. I think I got it early enough, I guess time will tell. I also took every bit of...

    Thanks ! I appreciate the video link...will check it out. I just cleaned the coop, but I'm going to do it again today and change the bedding out etc.. The thought of bugs (even though I KNOW they are there even when I don't see them!) totally creeps me out...I'm going to do both I think. I...

    I'm pretty sure my chickens have lice???..ugh..but....

    What is the best way to treat them?I don't see mites at all...just the almost clear little, what I am assuming are lice? I'm only seeing them on a few ( like 4 out of my 36 hens) -- Should I treat everyone preventatively?? I've read a lot about DE too..is that the best route to go?? What...

    Yes !:! My husband came home early Thursday to "check" -- he's a softie -- and sure enough, it had hatched, but mom abandoned it, so he brought it in the barn and set up the heat lamp etc...and it was up and running in a few hours -- so glad he came home early, and our other little fella...

    Mom's still on the egg...and when she isn't, I've got another broody that take's her half hour eating/drinking shift over for her -- she sits clucking in the box next door until the setting hen gets up and then she scoots right over and gets herself all cozy...kind of funny really -- I'm just...
