Thanks Donna. I have been putting apple cider vinegar in their water so keep build up off the waterer and to help against worms. I didn't know vinegar could help against mites also.

I forgot that a couple of days before both my hens died, their combs were lighter than normal. I have dusted the shavings in their coop and their pen in sevin dust. And also them. Is there anywhere else that I should dust for mites?

Will I need to get frontline plus or cas or dogs (or will it matter)? I am going after sevin dust today and will go ahead and start dusting stuff down.

The chance of anemia sounds more in line with the symptoms she had. She had been acting a little offbeat for a little over a week. I thought she might have been getting picked on. Then she started with her puffed up feathers this morning.

Thank you guys! How can I tell if they have mites (what do they look like)? I will check them for that first and then go from there. We keep sevin dust on hand so I may go ahead and put it where they like to dust at. Will they work. It's hard to catch my roo so I thought that might be easier.

I had one hen and a young rooster die with the same symptoms. I wormed them with a drop of the safeguard horse wormer (was told it killed pretty much all the worms). We also put them on an antibiotic for a couple of days also. I don't have anymore that are showing any symptoms right now but I am...

Thanks for the website! Unfortunately she passed while I had to leave today. If it is mites, how can I prevent my other chickens from this? I really need to find out what is going on. We have new babies coming the first of may and I want to have te problem fixed before they get here and at least...

I'm not sure if that is what it is. I have had at least 2 other hens show the same symptoms in the past 3 or 4 months and they passed. She has lasted longer than the other two. I would take them to a vet, but even in rural Alabama I can't find one that works with chickens. Just normal pets...

My buff hen is acting sluggish. She is the second girl that has done this. We usually feed them a little bread and they go crazy over it. She will hardly even touch it. This has been going on for about a week now. Her stool is really green and pretty runny. She is acting lethargic. I think she...

My rooster has gapeworm and I also think one of my hens has it. I need to know something that I could get probably at a tractor supply that I can give them and also something that I can give all my chickens to provent them from getting it. Also i need to know how much to give them and for how...

I have an Easter Egger that is acting funny. She is eating and drinking, but she is not acting like herself. She stuck her whole face down in the watering tray this morning to drink. She is also acting mopey, cough/sneezing, and she had a coating of black slimy/solid film over her whole beak...

I have a four month old Buff Orpington that has somehow broken her toe. She can walk some, but mostly only to turn herself around to a different position then she lays back down. I don't want to put her down because she is one of the few my two year old cousin can play with and she loves the...
