Thank you all for this great advice! I love being able to come here to get help raising our sweet chickens.
Sadly, Brownie passed away this morning. When I went to see her first thing, she had collapsed to the ground. I picked her up and held her wrapped in a towel for about 5 minutes before...
Thank you both for your advice! I’m hesitant to keep using the permethrin 😬 after I dust her with it, Brownie continuously twitches her head for about three days 😭 I think she’s having a hard time tolerating it and it’s causing neurological symptoms. Have you ever used ivermectin?
So I have a young hen, Brownie, who had not been acting like her usual spunky self for the past 4 weeks. She was lethargic and keeping to herself. Almost 2 weeks ago, I went to close up the coop, and she was sleeping on the ground and looking just awful. I brought her in the house, not knowing...

The white ones (with a few black flecks) lay...
These tiny bugs are infesting the chicken yard. Does anyone know what they are? I have a video that shows them better, but I can’t figure out how to upload a video. Are they mites? My children get covered in them when visiting with the chickens. I can’t find any on the actual chickens, but I’d...
This just appeared recently under her vent. Any idea what it is? She doesn’t appear to be in pain, she’s acting normally, and still laying. Any thoughts? What should I do?
