My hen that I am currently nursing back to health has mites/lice. I know you can use a spray and 5% Seven Dust but since she is staying indoors until she gets better is their anything else I can use like a home remedy? The reason I ask is because my sister is pregnant and stays with us while her...
Update on Abby:
Everything is looking good. I gave her a tsp. of yogurt today mixed with her food and she absolutely loved it! She has gained strength back in her left leg but her right leg is still weak. She can stand up and walk with help (I have to hold her wing). So hopefully she will...
Yes, I went to a local hardware store 5 minutes from my house. I didn't get to make it to TSC because it has been raining very hard and the roads are bad. The only thing they had was 16% Starter/Grower Feed.
Anyone know of where I can get Silkies in NC? Preferably somewhere close to the Blue Ridge?? If not where can I order some? I know McMurray Hatchery has them but they are sold out:/
Sorry for not introducing myself sooner, I was to worried about my Chick.
I am from the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. I have two Bantams one Rooster (Abram) and one Hen (Abby). I also Have a house cat (Saylor) and a house rabbit (Dixie). I am new to chickens and very excited to learn...
The green poop confuses me because she is eating and drinking very well:/ I am going to get her on some new feed and vitamins ASAP! I hope and pray it isn't Marek's. But if it is what do I do?? How long can they live with that?
Here are some pics of Abby...

This is how she sits up
This is how she will lay on her side
and this is what her poop looks like now
I am knew to this chicken thing and would love to learn everything about it especially their nutrition. I have two Bantams, one rooster and one hen that are about 5 months. What should I be feeding them? I usually go to Tractor Supply to get their stuff.
Ohh, okay. I did not know that about the feed! I feel like such a dummy=[ They do get to free range and I knew about them needing grit. Hopefully changing her food and stuff will help. Thank you so much!
Since Wednesday her appetite hasn't change she is still eating and drinking well. But she has lost use in both legs. Her mobility is getting worse=[ She can move them but its like she has no strength in them and they shake. Her poop has been normal but is getting greener. I really hope she will...
