Something going around Facebook recently that you could put water & a few pennies in a ziplock bag & hang up to deter flies. Said that sunlight would reflect like prisms & the flys couldn't see....something like that
Wisher, tried squishing the "eggs" & they really don't squish. They just seem hard. Today there seems to be more. Going to get some sevin & try. I read where u can put the sevin in a garbage bag & put the chicken in the bag with their heads out, is that how you would apply? Also, what about...
That's the weird thing, they aren't in clusters like all the pics I've seen. Was wondering if it might be some type of fungal infection or something. Will try to squeeze & tell you what it feels like.
Thanks!
Does anyone know if these are lice eggs? Just noticed yesterday & they are only around their necks. Inspected all of them & do not see any signs of bugs, mites, etc... Put a lot of DE in the coop. Not sure what the next step is since I'm not sure if lice or not.
Found these little white things on my girls, but just around their heads. Inspected all birds under wings and around vents, etc... Couldn't find any evidence of any bugs, mites, etc... Lots of DE in the coop. Not sure what the next step is, all advice greatly appreciated!!
Just curious if anyone in south AL (especially Mobile & Baldwin County) has had to use a Vet for your birds? Just wondering if we have a vet nearby that would treat chickens
One chick dead this am & others left eye looks sunken & cloudy, not sure about discharge from it. Put neosporin on eye & vitamins in water. Looked up ocular Marek's & it doesn't look like that, unless its very early. The chicks are a month old. What else can we do?? Thanks in advance!!
Help, lost one of our one month olds this am & the barred rocks eye looks like its shrunken & possibly having some discharge from it. Vitamins in the water, put neosporin on barred rock. She's not acting 100%, but still eating & drinking. What can we do?
I'm going to use sand in the run & deep litter with pine shavings in coop. If deep litter doesn't work as well as described, I will try sand in the coop
How loud are y'all's hens? I have a friend who's been telling me they are going to be louder than I think. We live on small in town lot & coop will be near property line. I know they can make a fair amount of noise when laying, but is it going to bother the neighbors?
