That's good news! Thanks for replying you guys!

Hi all! Our little Agatha, Plymouth Rock, has what appears to be white spots on her earlobes. I also noticed a little white spot below her eye. Either I've never noticed this before or something's up? Has anyone experienced something similar?

Never mind I found a good answer deep in another thread. Thank you!

Just going to bump this to see if anyone has any advice. The other threads in scaly leg mites have been very helpful! Just wondering how to tell if we're making any progress.

Hello friends! We have two hens that have scaly leg mites. We've given them ivermectin once and dipped their legs in baby oil for seven nights. My biggest question is how can we tell if the treatments are working? Quite frankly their legs look just about the same as before. We've been...

I fully recognize that this post is 4 years old but I'm in the exact same boat! I've done a lot of research on how to integrate but our numbers are much lower than what others talk about. We live in Chicago and recently lost one of our three hen flock. The hen that is no longer with us was the...

I hope all is going well with the chickens! My husband and I live in Chicago and are starting to look for homes in chicken friendly suburbs. Any rumors on when Elgin will open up to more people having hens?

We used a light for about a month to get our ladies into the coop each night and were eventually able to stop using it. Now they go into their coop on their own but the light really helped! I've also heard you can pick them up and put them on their roost at night to help train them to go inside...

We have three chickens and one is a BA. She's nearly 32 weeks and still no eggs, even though both of her sisters are laying. But both of her sisters are other breeds (Buff Orpington and Barred Rock). So we're waiting patiently with our Australorp but I'm wondering if we're going to be waiting...
