We lost our speckled susses to red mites yesterday and the other two hens seems to have them too.
We washed the coop and applied permithrin but i am positive there are still tons of dreadful red mites in there.
We also applied permithrin powder to the two chickens yesterday but i still see...
Thank you for the detailed response. I did get permethrin and applied to her. And i did pick up Electrolytics and my kids are feeding her the water.
How many days we need to keep her on fluids? I was planning on giving her scrambled egg later in the day..is that a good idea to offer or just...
Hi, my chicken seemed very lethargic and when i checked her she has red mites all over her body.
Can someone please tell me what steps i need to take to treat her. Should i spray her with water and then spray her with dust+DE? She is barely moving her head and not eating or drinking.
My husband...
Thanks for your reply.

We have two BO's and the...
Thank you all for the advice..I really appreciate it.. we are letting the BO's free range to give the other two hens some time to eat and relax. Hopefully they will outgrow the behavior soon.(finger cross)
Thank you BDutch, B-goock and aart...we are painfully realizing that Buff Orpington's are not so friendly after all :(...However they are not fighting to draw blood, mostly chasing the NH and SS, so i guess thats good news. Ideally having a second coop would be nice, but i dont think its a...
Hi all, we are absolutely newbies to chickens and need some help understanding our 4 chickens.
We bought home 16 week Speckled sussex and a New Hampshire red home on Saturday from a family run farm.
The Sussex was just very very docile and didnt seem interested in eating much, however the NH...
