Sounds good! I will keep at it!

Will do! Thanks!

Just a little update. It's been a week or so and nothing has changed. Feet and scales look the same. They have not gotten worse, that's for sure. I'll just be keeping an eye on them. Thanks everyone!

Thank you for the info! I cleaned down the whole coop and put all fresh bedding in. I also washed all 5 of my hens feet in Epson salt water and put olive oil on all their feet in case. I used an old toothbrush to wipe the olive oil on their feet hahah. They all took to it very well, I was...

Thank you!

Thank you! I will go this route as well.

Thank you!

I don't actually see mites yet. But I'll be cleaning the coop today and will check closely. Thanks!

Thank you for taking a look. I will treat her to be safe.

Thank you!! It can be hard to tell sometimes. I will treat her tomorrow to be safe. ❤

Hello, I just noticed on one of my girls, that some of the scales are slightly lifted. I'm thinking she is in an early stage of scaly leg mites. Can anyone confirm this with the pics attached? I will need to start treating her tomorrow. I will clean the coop, sprinkle DE, wash her legs and put...

Hello! I am on my second batch of chicks and am using straw in their brooder. Last time I used shredded paper as the bedding and it worked just fine but with the straw, I am noticing they are starting to eat the little bits of them. They are 6 days old right now. I'm sure in the first batch they...

My hen is still going back and forth with her crop, it's been like 2 months now. I had started giving her chopped raw garlic every night before she sleeps and that has helped a lot. Her crop clears in the morning when I do that. Then I stopped the garlic for a few days and continued to give ACV...

I'm glad she is hanging in there! The day after my girls crop cleared she stuffed herself with crumble, it was not empty that next morning but almost. I can see its digesting but today it has felt a little doughy and I saw her poop water yesterday. I think that something is still blocked and...

So this morning, My hens crop was empty! I massaged alot the day before. She stuffed herself with food today, huge crop before she went in the coop for the night. I'm praying her crop empties again in the morning. How is your hen doing?

She eats, poops, drinks, everything normal she just has a droopy crop with some fluid and stringy stuff in there. Other wise she is totally normal. Poops look normal. I thought she might have worms but I don't think she does. They would show in the poop right? And she loves to eat and drink. She...

I have been giving her raw garlic and yogurt but it has not been helping. So I stopped with the yogurt as I feel it was making it worse and an still giving garlic and have made her vomit a couple times, like this morning. I can feel she has something stringy in there so I'm massaging her a lot...

I have been battling a sour crop for a few weeks now. My hens crop was starting to empty in the morning but then it came back. I have vomited her on a few occasions but I just don't want to do it any more. I am afraid it will kill her. I have also been using a generic brand of Monistat for the...

I took it out and gave them a 2 tablespoon mix. I unfortunately do not have the option of taking her to a vet. I was massaging her crop this morning and she threw up 3 times on her own, I didnt even squeeze her crop. I have given her some yogurt as well. Last time this happened she threw up a...

Can you use a higher ACV ratio to water? I just gave my hens 1 1/2 cup water to 1/2 cup ACV. Is that too much? I have one hen that has been battling sour crop for awhile.
