Thank you by the way . We went to our very first ever auction we were so excited to get some unique girls... We came home with 4 Roos (but told they were hens), leg mites, some kind of infection (sneezing etc. ) and worse of all mareks disease, in which we lost a very loved Sebright. . We...
These are the same birds, the other one I will post tomorrow has a very large tall comb but otherwise looks identical so I assume another male?
And are they Wayndottes mixed I assume? The don't look pure to me.
Thank you very much but I just don't think this is it.... There is no feather loss at all, his feathers are very full they are just sheared off like a brush cut.... Except on his wings which is new over the last week.
We were told these were Silver laced Wayndotte hens. There are 2 of them this one and another I am trying to find a picture that is identical except has quite a large comb and wattles.
They are both very large and big eaters.
I can't seem to find the specific lice you are talking about I guess as there are no signs on him of lice or eggs? It is quite uniform. Do you have any links you can share? Also not sure what you mean by peepers?
Thank you!
Interesting his mate seems to have the prettiest feathers at this point. We have them together but separate from the flock right now, so we are wactching closely... Any suggestions if it is her?
I will research thank you.... But he is the only one like, I would assume lice would spead? And I have looked him over from top to bottom and gave scene nothing.
This is our Red Pyle Old English Roo. This is how he looked a couple of months ago.
Here he is now!!
All his body feathers appear shaved short. His wings are bare???
I've read about mice but he sleeps up high....
Help please.
Our beautiful old English Roo's feathers have been stripped and all the rest of his feather seem shaved off.... There are no signs of mites and none of the others are having this issue. Any help would be appreciated.
And Kathryn :).
We have spoken with the local agro centre as well as a few other places we know raise chickens and they have suggested electrolytes with vitamins and oil of oregano... We have cleaned out our pen and are using straw instead of pine as the pine was very fine an maybe causeing...
