Thank you. I'll start soaking her foot tomorrow. It looks like it's gotten bigger or is flattening out. I can't tell.

Hi, I have an egger who has a bumble on top of her foot. It's kind of between toes but not much. I've had one other bird have a bumble but it was on her pad and made her limp. This bird walks fine but it looks gross and yellow and tight as if it might pop. I have been treating it topically but...

She was like nothing was ever wrong the very next day. I used permethrin dust on her and I placed her up in her roost spot and she went to sleep.. next day she was back to being her bossy self squaking at everyone. I've been treating them all and I dusted dusted whole coop. The vet RX was just...

She was like that for a while. She's very young and only started laying late last year. And yes she stayed inside most of the day flattened out like a pancake over everyone else's eggs. She left to eat and drink and went back in. She seemed to have stopped though. Strange.

Thanks. I don't know how long she had the lice. She molted a couple months ago and looks good. I treated everyone with permethrin dust tonight. She's acting very sleepy. The others are pissed and I only found a couple that were a little infested. Still. Have to get the spray and do the coop...

Hi everyone, I noticed today that my top hen, the Queen Bee is isolating herself. She's eaten and had some treats and water but shes been staying in the same few spots all day, barely foraging. I'm redoing my coop now and cleaning, dusting to rid the bugs. I have been waiting for warmer weather...

Thanks for the response. I think she was just broody. So we have been making sure to get all the eggs collected each day.

I agree that it was bad this year! This is year 2 for us and 2nd summer, last year we had no problems. This year we got hit hard. One of my girls’ butt is red and I feel really bad about it! Idk what I can do. Neosporin maybe? Once those pests are gone I hope she’ll regrow her feathers. She used...

Hey thanks for the tip. I read that I should let the coop dry first? I’m not sure why if I’m also spraying this stuff ON the birds as well. Also, have you ever treated young chickens? We got a bad infestation after I impulsively bought 3 extra Day old chicks Who are now 7 weeks old. They live in...

Thanks for all the great advice guys! I went ahead and bought the permethrin 10% solution. I definitely have to treat my hens but for the application there was some mixed instruction that I didn’t quite understand. Do I mix the solution with water to spray on the hens and how much? and to...

Hi all, We have been battling a mites problem for a while. I have tried LOTS of things, including: Diatomaceous earth, hardwood ash, poultry protector spray, poultry dust and finally Sevin dust yesterday. Not all things at once of course. Probably over the last 4-6 weeks. I clean the coop...

Oh sweet!!! I was wondering if they were buff or white! Thank you! 😁 they are the loudest peeps we have! The blue Andalusians are very tiny! And the Easter eggers r BIG And puffy. lol

Baby Peeps!

I got baby chicks today, we have been planning on expanding for about 6 months. We currently have 4 layers and we got 6 more. 2 Andalusians, 2 Easter Eggers, and 2 Cochins ...I think. They are the same size as the eggers, yellow, and have fluffy feet. Anyone have a clue? They are SO cute!! 😍

I'm not sure what expertise you have on fowl pox but I've been closely monitoring her every day and I'm consistently seeing an increase in these lesions on her face. Everything I've read is pointing me to the conclusion that it is in fact fowl pox and the advice I got on here as well as...

Firstly, shes not in anyway "locked up" She has a coop and 2 big runs with space to dig and dirt bathe. Shes also recovering from an attack and needs to be kept separate from the rest because they have been attacking her and keeping her from eating or drinking since being re-introduced. Shes...

It seems to be spreading and on the other side as well. I want to give her a bath too bc she’s been covered in neosporin for weeks and then went for a mud bath after. Anyone have any tips for giving a chicken a bath?? I’ll keep her in the house til she’s all the way dry of course. I just want...

Yea after reading that I think she might have it. She’s been wiping her beak side to side a lot.
