I've noticed recently that one of my hens have these black scab like things on her face (close to her eye) I thought it was dirt or mud but when I looked at it, and pulled it, it was attached to her skin :/ I'm thinking maybe its fowl pox or something or maybe I'm just being paranoid.. Also...

I dusted her quite alot, maybe 4 or 5 times? I checked her today still no lice but the eggs are clumped together and no sign of hatching from what I can see, but I really hope they don't hatch.. and its been a few months since iv dusted her, maybe 3 or 4 months

thanks for the info, i'll deffinatley be keeping a carful eye on them, better safe than sorry!

Since i started this thread, the chicks hatched :D soo yaay! trust me lol.. she'll be fine, if she's not pooing in the nesting area chances are she's probably going out every now and then, i was worried too because our hen lost weight, but thank god she's okay, i was doing what people recomended...

I've checked her a few times, and havnt seen anything, i'll check her again thoroughly and make sure just to be 100%, might dust her as well just to be on the safe side

good idea! i'm worried (as people keep telling me) im still new to this whole broody thing :/ i'm a little worried if i wash her, she'll "snap out" of her broodiness, i keep being told NOT to touch her, but maybe i'll move her food further away from her and see how that goes

i have a broody hen at the moment and we put her food and water inside the house so she does have to move too far away from the nest, she's been pooing where she's sitting on her eggs, i cleaned the area looks like she's stopped but she has all feces dried and stuck to her back side... i tried...
