Hey I have scaly leg mites and I think regular mites as well in my coop and on my birds.
I cleaned the coop out yesterday and want to start treating them and my coop. But I have heard so many different ideas on what I need to do and am confused on what I should do and what will work.
I should...
I forgot to mention that the reason I sent in the fecal sample to begin with is because my chickens had almost stopped laying and a few of them were getting really dumpy looking. They had ruffled feathers, stiffness when the walked, tail would hang low and they would just stand there mostly with...
I sent a Fecal sample to my Vet and they found Roundworm and Strongylid eggs. She said to treat them with piperazine for the round worms and that the strongylid shouldn't effect them.
My only concern is that I treated my old laying birds for round worm in the winter and thought I had gotten rid...
I gave them more space in the chicken coop yesterday and as they het older they are going to be getting an outside run. Thanks for all your help, I hope this fixes the problem.
They are just over 2 weeks old. And I had been separating the ones that were getting pecked so they could heal then I am going to put them together as soon as they heal, but today when I was feeding I noticed maybe 10 that are starting to get pecked around their oilers (maybe more). And wont...
Hello,
This is my first time raising meat chicks and I'm having problems with them pecking eachother mostly around their oilers. What should I do? It's getting to the point where there are to many to separate them.
I have to leave the heat lamp on at night yet (I'm using a red bulb). And I've...
I have 2 banties with chicks they were in the same coop but were separated by a wire gate. At some point today they got in with eachother and the one hen pecked the other one so bad her eyes are all red and swollen shut. :'( Will she be ok or is she blind now. What can I do for her. I took the...
Hello,

We just got into pigs a year ago but we have found that waiting till the sow comes in heat and then putting them together just to let them breed works well. You have to put them together a few times this way so its a bit more work, but than you know when she is bred and know when to expect your...
We are just starting spring here so some warm days some cold days. This week we are getting around 17-20 degrees during the day and tHen down to 8 or 9 at night. So not real warm yet and yes they are staying with their Mom.
Also how do so find a thread about Hen pecking? I have 12 hens and they are pecking my rooster and he is starting to loose feathers? Not sure what to do??
Hello, so I had one of my hens go broody on me up in one of the nesting boxes; it took me awhile to realize and by the time I did I didnt want to move her cuz I was worried I would disturb the eggs. Half way through another of my hens went broody with her in the same nesting box. Just this...
