Discovered last week that my flock has a rather nasty infestation of lice. We set up de and permethryn baths. Put de in the area where they normally dust bath. Treated the birds, coop, and nesting boxes with the permethryn. The lice are still alive!! What else can I do?

This is Miracle. Yesterday I found her laying on the ground after one of my adult chickens pecked at her egg. She was ice cold but still breathing. I put her in the incubator and prayed. This morning she appears to be healthy other than her legs. They are straight out behind her.

I have 2 broody silkies. I have eggs that have been in the incubator for 10 days. Can I put them under my hens?

I have 3 chicken eggs in my incubator that are on day 24. 1 is a silkie and the other 2 are mixed breed full size. Each time we have candle them it looks as though they have grown. At what point do I give up on them?

I accidentally got some straight run Wyandotte. We are pretty sure on 2 of them but the 3rd is iffy. We are thinking cockeral.

We have 4 buff Orpington. All were supposed to be pullets. I'm seriously questioning this one. They are 6-7 weeks old.

I lost my female guinea yesterday to a respiratory infection. Even though they were in with my mixed flock of birds my male seems to be lonely without her. From the day we brought them home they have been inseparable. They were brooded with six chicks, and while they protect them the guineas...

We are in the process of winterizing all our pens and coops. We havw had chickens through winter before but never had bantams or feather footed birds. Is there anything extra we should be doing to ensure our silkies have a safe and healthy winter. We also have a featger footed brahma but she...

When we got our turkeys they were marked as bronze turkeys. I'm not sure thats what they are though. Also gender? We are new to turkeys!!

My little bantam golden Sebring started crowing this morning. It was the most adorable thing I've ever heard lol. Love it

Treated all my chickens, their coops, the nesting boxes for mites yesterday. How can I tell if the treatment worked? I felt really horrible. All the birds were tore up by those darn bugs and I never even saw it. They hid it fairly well. Even the ones that looked perfectly fine as red sore...

I believe that my chickens have mites. No poopy butt but I'm noticing many are missing chest feathers. My problem is a I can't find anywhere what ratio of permethrin I should use on my chickens. I have the permethrin10 liquid. Do I just put a couple drops on my birds or do I dilute it?

Posted late last night with no response so I'm just reposting to make sure it gets seen... Several weeks ago I had a hen that had pulled out feathers on her chest. I figured she was getting broody. She hasn't gone broody as of yet. This morning I noticed I have a rooster with a one inch bald...

Several weeks ago I had a hen that had pulled out feathers on her chest. I figured she was getting broody. She hasn't gone broody as of yet. This morning I noticed I have a rooster with a one inch bald area on his chest. Then tonight as I watched my chickens roost I noticed another hen with...
