She's under a year. Hatched in April-ish of this year.

Thanks cobrien & tammye!

Oh and I forgot to mention she feels really skinny... I found another post from back in January where people recommended quarantine. So I just did that and gave her fresh water with Vit-E & ACV & some scrambled eggs. I'll go to the store for more supplies in the AM. Any other recommendations...

Hello All, I noticed yesterday that one of my chickens is limping/falling down when trying to get around. I thoroughly inspected her and see nothing physically wrong with her - no bumps, bruises, scrapes, punctures, etc... nostrils and eyes are clear (no signs of illness). When I threw some...

18% seems like it should be fine. After reading more detail in this one I'd definitely look at the too much light thing. 12x20 sounds like plenty of room, but how many of them are there. also, I'd separate out the hurt ones. Once there's blood they won't stop pecking...

jbarker - gosh this thread is old and I haven't had any problems with my flock since I removed my problem child. I'd definitely look into mites, also how many do you have, how much space do they have, what are they being fed? If they are all doing it, I'd almost contradict myself on the...

Hi All! I thought it was quite out here, but then realized I had stopped getting notifications when ya'll posted! Any Vancouverites at the Orchard Feed Mill Egg Hunt over the weekend? I'm not totally certain yet, but I was also wondering if anyone had the space for a 1 year old Red Sussex at...

Great to hear she's regaining strength and doing well! I checked on my girls yesterday and they seemed to be doing better, too. trouble with the non-organic approach, is that I'm paranoid about eating their eggs. There so people out there that say they do, but I can't imagine NONE of the...

Hey spooky chick, If they don't end up being able to get it, there is also a place in portland that has organic, I believe soy free, feed. All of their stuff is grown in the NW and locally milled, which is also awesome for our local economy. If you are interested, check out...

Very cool ideas chickenannie! I'm dealing with mites in my flock of 3 at the moment too. I ended up using a sevin-like product, it does not kill the eggs and I read neither does sevin. Good luck with your girl. I'd be interested in follow up posts to hear how she looks in a couple...

I don't disagree with culling, but I did want to say that if you have 13 birds that all live together and there are that many showing signs of illness. It sounds to me like they've all been exposed. If that's the case AND you do not plan to introduce any new chickens to the flock, then you...

Oh! Poor baby! I'm so sorry to see how bad its gotten. I know nothing about coryza, but just wanted to offer my condolences. I also did come quick research. This site looks like a good one: http://www.msstate.edu/dept/poultry/disbact.htm (scroll to the bottom for coryza) Also try this one...

Quote: Permethrin is good. I'm not familiar with dimethyl. I would go ahead and use it. Thanks! I figured everyone was out enjoying their weekend and didn't want to wait much longer. I cleaned up her back end, dried her off, dusted all three girls, then cleaned out their coop and dusted...

I have no idea, but I"m interested in seeing a response too. So I thought I'd respond and bump your topic back up a bit. I was just taking care of a wee-bit of a mite problem my girls have and was dusting their little vents when one of them looked like she was prolapsing. It looked terrible...

So I went to the feedstores and they did not have Sevin. They had something else called, Hi-Yield Garden, Pet & Livestock Dust. It refers to mites and poultry, but its active ingredient is permethrin and dimethyl. Anyone have any experience with this? I'm heading out pretty quickly here and...

Quote: Now so do I. Thank you so much for mentioning Ochard Feedstore. I didn't even know it was there and I've been driving to either Battle Ground, Ridgefield, St. John's, or Portland. That is now my store! Its so much closer to my house and just a cute little building, da boot! Thanks Tiff!

Thanks ddawn and ridgerunner! I really appreciate all the information. I'll be heading out soon to see whats available at my local feed stores.

Quote: I was with you, too, but I think that MrsSmith meant when will the mites start to die. Thanks for the clarification. I definitely planned to treat them all. One is covered in them, the same one that is coughing a bit, and hasn't laid in a week. The others have to have some somewhere...
