Thanks Cammy, How do I apply the acaricide?

I have 29 hens and the majority of them have the depluming mite. I have given them Ivermectin, dipped them 3 times in sulphur and a mite dip. The redness will go away and come back again. They are losing a lot of feathers. I'm at the point where I think I'm going to need to cull my flock and...

I talked to the vet and sent pics to him. He said it is some kind of skin burrowing mite. He suggested a couple drops of Ivermectin. Hopefully this works. They are actually plucking out their own feathers due to irritation. Chickens are a mystery. Thanks everyone!!

Our chickens are looking really ratty. They have lost a lot of their feathers and have red irritated skin especially at the end of their tails. One has it around her eye. It looks really irritated and red and really dry. I'm lost! It almost looks like a bad case of eczema. They had Northern Fowl...

She's in the coop in a dog crate on a shelf so the other chickens can't get to her. I put oats yogurt and mashed bananas in her crate last night and this morning it was almost all gone. I gave her some water with a little sugar in it. This morning when I looked at her she was quite perky and...

One of our chickens has a watery fluid with white lines in it coming out of her vent? She is also very lathargic. Does anyone know what that is? My flock is being treated for mites. Could that have anything to do with it? Worms? I feel like I'm going to lose her. Please help.

I'm not sure what to do. I first noticed that some of my chickens were sneezing and had runny poo about three months ago. I treated them with Terramycin for 10 days. That didn't seem to fix the problem. Then last week found out that they were infested with Northern Fowl Mites. (We looked at it...

Thanks for all the great info. I now have another question. My birds are sneezing, some have watery poop and some have dirty noses. (All we have are rocks and dirt) We live in the mountains and grass is hard to come by) I don't see any discharge. I treated them with an antibiotic that I put in...

mistylady, Thanks for the posts and the picture. Where did you get the trays to put under the roosts? That's a great idea. How many chickens do you have? We have 30 but are really thinking about finding homes for some. We'll see. Our coop is a 10 x 14. Is that big enough for 30 chickens? How...

Please post pics of these. I have 30 chickens. Desperate!!

Mahonri, What is diatomacious earth? What is it used for? Thanks for the welcome. Pobutt

Hi, I decided to join because I'm a very new chicken owner and don't have a clue what I'm doing. We're already infested with the Northern fowl mite and I'm trying to get new ideas for a new roost and droppings board because we are spending way too much money in shavings. We have 30 chickens. Any...
