ok, I found the Ivermectin in the paste form in a syringe. Can I just put some on the back of her neck and hope it get absorbed? I'm trying to treat internal worms. What do y'all think? Thanks, Peep

I've checked 2 feed stores and now I'm asking a Vet specialist. Waiting for a call back> Where do you folks get yours? On line? Thanks.

I want to try the Ivermectin next. I've tried 2 feed stores and they don't stock it. Where do you guys get it?

Not sure if it's lice or mites cuz it's just rasberry, wouldn't they all have it? And would that explain the white stuff on her butt? I may have to order stuff on line, I guess. As for molting, her head could use some more feathers and I considered that she was molting until I saw the white...

here is a picture of rasberry's pale pale face..

Rasberry is about 1 year old. Recently her comb gas gotten pale as well as her face. She is still eating and drinking, and follows the other chickens around but seems slower and more listless. There is some white stuff on her vent that kind of looks like she sat in some paint. I am treating...

Farmer Benji...does feeding them in the run sound bad?

Wow, thanks chickenchaser!

Teach, my dog not only likes the feed but she also eats the chicken poop too! No takers when she comes looking for a kiss! However I can't fit the feeder in the coop. And they just spill it so we kept it outside.

We have 3 RIR's that have a nice enclosed run attached to their coop. In the nicer weather, we free range them. On a recent mild day, we let them out and no sooner a flock of wild Turkies came looking for freebies from the feed! The chickens did not seem to mind sharing. With the snow...

I don't light our coop and we haven't gotten any eggs from our 3 RIR's for a while now, which I kind of expected. But it sounds like some folks still get an occassional egg even in the winter. These girls are on hold. I'm fine with that as long as they come back in the spring. We live in the...

We do not light our coop so we haven't had eggs for a while. I hope we get them again in the spring!

Hi, We have 3 Rhode Island Reds that "followed my son home" last June. I didn't want to keep them at first and then we decided they are cool so we kept them. We had no idea how to accomodate our new family members. I've learned about their care from Backyard Chickens. So far so good! We...
