Please understand two types of mites are being discussed. Scaly leg mites are pretty obvious causing the feet/leg scales to lift, swell and cause discomfort in advanced stages. As I understand they are passed from bird to bird and aren't usually a problem "in" the coop. They CAN be effectively...

If this fella had bad leg mites why not just rub Vaseline on the babies feet and legs? I don't think it will harm them of you sparingly rub some into their legs. That way "if" they're harboring mites, they'll all be suffocated.[/B][/B]

Thank you.

I'm curious why you think she may lay grn/bl eggs. Is it her coloring or just that they "can" lay the blue hued eggs? Hawk lays an egg that is pale beige almost white. Is that the baseline, non color of an EE?

They sre nice looking chicks.

Ruby has alot of character whichever sh/im turns out.to be! What expression.

As a former RI resident who had a raccoon IN my home.... I'm not sure how much local "animal" control is going to help, When the raccoon got into our homeI had a two year old sleeping in the next room. Warwick told me I had a pest control problem and thatdI'd have to self remediate or hire a...

We were just discussing the dark color of.our eggs. The greens/scraps theory is well supported here with garden harvest remains, weeds and copious amounts of green vegetable scraps and.leftovers from our kitchen.

Dog's tick collar is no longer working and I see an opportunity!  Unfortunately, she hates them so I will have to figure that out. I think we are in for one deeply instead year. Our collar is not working either and "she who has never had a tick adhere in 46 years" had one pulled off her last...

Malloy, instead of raising taxes for everyone, why not cut pensions and state jobs benefits? Although not the forum your question is a refreshing dose of reality to locate anywhere. I guess there is hope for our state yet! A pleasure to make your acquaintance. :yesss:

I didn't like how I saw the chicks handled when one of the owners were dividing them to lots and being inspected by the state animal inspector.   Living in CT now I am a "recovering" former RI resident for most of my years. Danny's was always great for the occasional "sleeping" antique. Now...

Goodness, now I'm going to worry that our bird feeder is really just going to be a way to "feed" songbirds to the hawks.... : ) I was watering a front garden yesterday and I spotted (I presume a RT Hawk) circling above. I called our Papillon to my side and made for the coop enclosure in the...

I have been skulking around BYC for a couple of months now. I am Becki and I have had chickens since I bought 6 chicks in the Spring, 2013. They were 2 RIR, 2 Auracanas and 2 "gray" sex linked hens. I have one RI red left from that flock, her name is Beatrice. Our 5 yr. old papillon...

After a year of life with 6 red hens (1 RIR and 5 red sexlinks) I decided to shake up the coop with a Rooster. So it goes the local pet/feed store a neighbor uses knew of someone with roosters. I believe he is around 9 m. old. He's a decent guy who doesn't seem to mind us humans. He has...
