    Help! Skin peeling on entire body and weird noises!!

    So last night was scary... she was only able to walk sideways and when she did she was wobbling. She was screeching as if me touching her was extremely painful. She also was a little smellier than usual, not a chicken smell. I put some of the Monistat cream on her comb, wattles, earlobes and...

    Help! Skin peeling on entire body and weird noises!!

    That’s what I was afraid of. No I haven’t yet. I was reading about that a little earlier. Based on the name of the cream, it looks like i would just use the same cream as you would use for vaginal yeast infections? I was planning on looking into that next. I’m also concerned about the odd sounds...

    Help! Skin peeling on entire body and weird noises!!

    I can’t see any mites/lice, only one of them who was separated and passed away a few months back had them visible. But the scaly leg mites I haven’t been able to see even spending an hour inspecting each bird daily for about a month. I have only been able to see the scabs/scales, feather loss...

    Help! Skin peeling on entire body and weird noises!!

    Hi, My girls have been struggling with scaly leg mites and lice for a few months now. I had two 7+ y/o hens die a few months ago and now I have two 3 y/o and a 8.5 y/o. One of the 3 y/o’s has had a bare inflamed butt for about a year now but other than that has been fine. I have treated the...

    Fowl pix?

    That’s the best I could get after 2 days of trying. I’m all clawed up on my legs and forearms. She doesn’t like me touching her comb, wattles or earlobes. None of my chickens ever have let me. They start to freak out and then don’t want to be held anymore. But I guess that’s good if you can’t...

    Impacted Crop that won’t improve!!

    Im sorry to hear about your bantam, what did the cancer look like when you opened her up? Was it just a mass of tissue? I lost mine also, I was planning on doing a necropsy but she died while I was at work and my parents like to bury my chickens within 30 min of finding them, so she had been...

    Fowl pix?

    I have an 8.5 y/o leghorn and two 3 y/o sexlinks. They recently have had an outbreak of lice, I treated the coop with permethrin and DE and it seems to be much better. They had scaly leg mites and mite bites on their combs as well but I have been doing foot soaks and applying petroleum jelly or...

    Impacted Crop that won’t improve!!

    She hasn’t really improved. I’ve been feeding her wet mash once a day and applesauce once a week. There was bruising on her skin after I did a massage every day for 5 days, that has improved by a lot, I think she may just be sensitive since she’s old and sick. Her behavior is a little less...

    They are poisoned again!!!

    Fish Prime?!?!? As in tap water conditioner for aquariums?!?! Yes, you’re probably right, they are most likely poisoned... because you’re most likely adding the poison! Why are you adding the prime?? What’s wrong with tap water, that’s what everyone uses for their farm animals. Where did you...

    Mites and swollen purple chest!!!

    My 7 year old hen appeared to have an impacted crop for the last 2 weeks. I have been trying the stool softener method and only giving her water and some apple sauce or yogurt. It seems to have gone down some since I started with the stool softener and massages. This is actually when I noticed...

    Impacted Crop that won’t improve!!

    Thanks, I read most of this the other day, I still wasn’t able to determine what else could be the issue, but I looked at the different options to solve different crop issues today. I am thinking of trying the stool softener method and seeing if that gets me anywhere (I made sure I got the...

    Impacted Crop that won’t improve!!

    It’s hard to get a clear picture that shows how enlarged she is. My hand almost fits around it. Originally I wasn’t able to even get my hand around all of the mass, now I can fit almost all of it in my hand. Her skin seems very stretched out and on one side of the mass was very very dry and flaky.

    Impacted Crop that won’t improve!!

    Yes I have been feeling it in the morning. It is always exactly the same, other than a possible small decrease in size a few days ago, it has remained the same size and same hardness. And no she hadn’t laid in over a year. She definitely isn’t pooping as often as normal and I haven’t noticed...

    Impacted Crop that won’t improve!!

    Hi, My Martha is roughly 6.5-7 years old (I’ve had her for 6 years). Over the last few weeks I’ve noticed her crop has been huge. But didn’t think anything of it. Recently when researching some other topics I came across info on an impacted crop and it got me thinking. I decided to quarantine...

    Sluggish hen fluffed up and wings dropping

    Ok, I have electrolytes that I can add to the water tomorrow. I’ll also try to check her. I have DE also if I do find that there are some type of external parasites. I have to change the bedding tomorrow anyway and was hoping to remove all the bedding and replace it so i can always add some DE...

    Sluggish hen fluffed up and wings dropping

    Also, her butt is always bare. At first it looked like she was picking them out, I’m working on cleaning out the coop of the chicken who died and putting the bully in there because I believe she’s been picking on everyone and pulling out their feathers lately. But for the 2 years I’ve had her...

    Sluggish hen fluffed up and wings dropping

    Hello, I have 4 hens, two 3y/o and two 6+ y/o. A few days ago one of my hens died, she was close to 7y/o maybe older. Before she died I noticed she was acting a little odd, I went to check to make sure she had food late at night and she was standing up in the corner instead of roosting or...

    Constant wet, muddy run!

    Hello, I have been researching what to do with my chicken run for the last year on and off and it all seems to be a bit overwhelming... I have had chickens for 8 years, currently I have 5 hens ranging from 2-8 years old. I have a small run that they spend most of their time in and then a...
