    Chicken with lice

    yes I was concerned about that as well. The other spray also has some other ingredients I am not so sure of to put on birds. I decided to dust them with the pyrethrin dust and cleaned the coop well, what a fun Christmas project de-loucing birds :-) thank you for the info

    Chicken with lice

    These are the two I could find. My only other option is to call the vet and see what he recommends

    Chicken with lice

    You can get permethrin here but the one I found is sold as a house product not for livestock, I couldn’t find anything with permethrin for chickens themselves. I am not sure I will probably only use it in the coop since I don’t know if it’s able to be sprayed on the chickens. I also found a...

    Chicken with lice

    Thankyou all for the info ! Darn lice, I will look right away for a product at the feed store. Kiki, I am in Canada but I know I’ve seen permethrin products around before hopefully they have something that works. Thankyou

    Chicken with lice

    I don’t think it’s an emergency but I noticed one of my chickens looking hunched up and sleepy and on closer inspection I saw a few adult lice, like about 5 of them. I will be doing a diotomaceous earth treatment but generally speaking she seems a little unwell, not as alert and appears a bit...

    I have already added them. Currently they all seem ok. Chevy still wants to be out during the day though, I haven’t noticed her being pecked anymore

    Chicken problems

    Oh ok Thankyou for the info. Should have waited longer I suppose. I may try to re separate them then, and re integrate more slowly. I have been making sure she’s getting to the food and water.

    Chicken problems

    I just put them into a wire cage and set it inside the chicken pen for couple days. Didn’t have any issues at the time so I just let them out one day

    Chicken problems

    New birds added about 3 weeks ago. I have 2 original adult hens (no idea on age) and 2 new hens. in a pen that is next to theirs but not attached there are nine 7 week mixed gender chickens, they will eventually be added but just the pullets. I’ll have to get some pics later when I feed this...

    Chicken problems

    This is a complex one, I ended up adding 2 new hens to my flock. Introduced gradually but after a few days of all being together in the coop I noticed my black hen “Chevy” being attacked by the two new hens plus sometimes others joined in. I expected some fighting but they are being bullies and...

    Crooked beak

    Yeah that’s the only way I’ve been successful at all is at night when they are sleepy or roosting. Unfortunately in my coop intend to wake them up as I enter the area. I’m trying to get them to start coming to treats though and sometimes can catch her. If i weigh her regularly how much would...

    Crooked beak

    She is proving quite hard to catch right now but I checked her yesterday and it seems that her crop felt full but it was new to me to check that so hopefully I’m right. I haven’t weighed her yet but if she lets me catch her tonight I will try. Thanks for all the info everyone That is hilarious...
