Yes he/she is a Brahma.

How can you tell?

5 1/2 weeks

Asking the experts :)

Mine were so bad you could see them on the eggs, nest, coop, myself and the white silkie who was sitting. Could not see them on the 3 dark chickens. However it is the dark frizzle who is now bald on tail and belly. I have not had any bites since I used the Elector so am assuming it did the...

She is eating and drinking, she free ranges all day.

We recently had a mite infestation that was resolved after various treatments by Elector (great stuff). A few weeks later my frizzle lost all the feathers on her chest, belly and tail. Was this caused by the mites, molting, being pecked by the other 3 girls or pecking herself? She has...

You could put a feather duster upside down for her to huddle under like her mother. My last incubated batch loved it.

Well it seems a nice bath is at least in order. I am still using some DE as an after mite precaution. The belly has some red or raw spots/areas, not so much in the vent area. I don't see the other girls picking on her but I am not there 24/7. She is quite a feisty little thing so the only...

We did treat the coop, run, dust bathing areas. I have not really seen any of my chickens noticeably molt so am unsure of that however we do not see new pin feathers coming in. She actually had a lot of feather loss when we first began treatment for mites which is why I thought it was related...

My one year old frizzle has lost most of her tummy feathers, vent feathers and wing feathers. We have no rooster and I have not seen her being picked on by others. We recently had mites but they appeared to more on the new mama silkie and she has no feather loss nor does the polish or cerama...

thank you for all the great advice. The 3 chickens and mom are looking better after all the dust and soap. I think the big hump now is the coop. Mommy hatched all the eggs today so will be easier now to get her and babies out so the coop can be cleaned better. We have sprayed and dusted the...

I am desperate. I have read thread after thread, article after article for my chicken mites which are also loving me. Perhaps I am too impatient. I have used dish soap/vegie oil water spray, I have used lots of DE, I have used essential oils and my hand is covered with mites when I just pet...

All the heating pads I see automatically turn off. If you are to keep the chicks warm through the night how do you deal with that?

We are in Emmett

I am a new member although I have gone to this site numerous times to gather useful info. Thank you everyone for all your help the past year with my girls. As I write we have 1 chick hatched in the "toaster" , 3 pipped, and one lazy girl. Wish us luck. Trying for a frizzle chick to go with our...
