We recently got them from someone and I dont know the age. She did lay an egg yesterday, but she still wont walk alot. Other than that she seems fine. Here is a picture of her, I set her down by the water and she stood up while drinking. The other picture is from her back tailfeathers. I dont...

Yesterday one of our hens didnt come over for treats and I found he sitting down panting. It was 97 degrees yesterday and just as hot today so I assumed it was heat related and brought her inside and gave he time to cool off. Shes back out now and seems to be limping around and sitting down...

I have a hen that at night she makes loud noises like gasps. She doesnt do it during the day that I know of but I hear it putting them away at night. She just started laying eggs. Any idea what it could be?

Will regular dust from regular dirt work or does it have to be the permethrin dust?

Ok sounds good I'll do that, I used some elector psp and sprayed the hen and the coop a bit, does that work at all with lice?

I noticed these above one of my hens butts today. Shes been having a messy bottom and we recently lost a hen to flystrike so I've been checking her alot to make sure that wont happen. I think these are mites, which is better than maggots. How do I get rid of them? I know elector psp can work...

This is the run. They're all together right now

We are introducing a flock of adults, 5 hens and one australorp rooster to our flock of 2 buff orpingtons, 2 reds, and a well summer. Our chickens seem hostile and three of them fought with the big rooster. The rooster didnt start the fight but he participated in it. It ended quickly all three...

Ok sounds good, we are twisting wire around some of it and using the zip ties for up higher but I'll probably in the future use the metal wires around everything, but if it's good in the short term then it will work for now. Thanks for the input

a little over a week ago we had a fox show up and kill 7 of our 14 chickens. They were outside in their run and it happened past 7 in the morning which was a surprise. We had chickens for 3 years with no problems like this and it really was hard to deal with. The original run wasnt covered and...

So what I've done is put the chick food outside with some oyster shells because the chicks spend all day outside, and put adult layer in the coop for the adults who go in and lay eggs. I feel like that's working out but I found poop in the coop this morning and I'm pretty sure it was from a...

Ok thank you, what low calcium feed do you reccomend? I'm using the food the chicks have had since they were born, when does that change and should it? Thanks

Were introducing 7 week old chicks to the flock, but I'm not sure how to feed both because both old and young chickens have access to food. Right now were going to take out the layer feed the others use and put just chick food. I know that's not the best for older chickens but it is just...

I have a 3 year old buff orpongton that suddenly has started to sneeze and had loud breathing. It sounds like "hee" whenever she breathes and she sneezes every once in a while. Shes running around, eating and drinking so i dont know how big a deal it is, but the last time I pushed something off...

The new house is going to be done today so I'm going to spray some of the PSP in the coop and on the hen. She is the only one who has mites, and she has gotten alot better recently. We just need to get her out of the house. Also this is unrelated. We have another chicken outside who for the past...

I've treated her by spraying around her bottom and legs and back with elector psp. Other than that I've sprayed the coop and that's all. Well probably clean the coop out soon but were very busy right now. Will it be an issue to wait till maybe the weekend. Also, were building another coop for...

So I dont see any progress with the mites, and were pretty sure they are mites. Then hen has recovered in her head, she can see our of both eyes now and looks alot better. But mites are now the problem. I've spray elector psp a few times but whenever I'm moving her or even another chicken I get...

I do not have a magnifying glass, especially one that could see something that small. They're really tiny. They move around pretty fast and they're on my phone usually when I find them, probably because the light? They're reddish orange, black and whiteish. Idk if that means anything. I'll spray...
