    How fast does permethrin work? Red mites

    I treated my chickens last night for lice with permethrin and this morning everyone was still itching themselves. Had to leave for work so haven’t checked them yet but I’m wondering the same thing. From what I’ve read, it should work immediately but not sure if I applied it correctly. I watched...

    Possible wing injury?

    Thank you. I really think after much research that she has angel wing. It’s usually in aquatic male birds in left wing.. this is a silkie hen in the right wing... but by all accounts, angel wing fits the bill. It’s normally seen at 3 months due to development of the wings and that’s when mine...

    Possible wing injury?

    So glad to hear your girl is doing good and wing is functioning normally. Mine was about 3 months old when she attacked and that's been about 3 months ago. I took her to my vet (who doesn't normally see chickens but I'm a frequent flyer there so they try to accommodate me) and he said she would...

    Split wing--how early will it show up?

    Thank you so much for this post. I have been researching deformities in chicken's wings. I have a chicken that has turned out feathers on her right wing. It's possible that it happened during an attack when she was about 3 months old and her playmates unexpectedly turned on her, but I suspect...

    Possible wing injury?

    I wish I had some advice, but unfortunately I was searching for wing injuries when I came across your post. I have a chick that either has a wing deformity or an injured wing. I have had to separate her and every time I attempt to allow one chicken around her, she always gets attached. What...

    Chicken Breaking All Her Feathers :( HELP

    I've had chickens for about 5 years also. I had researched and read a lot about plucking feathers about 5 months ago because for the first time, one of my girls started doing it. I originally thought she was only plucking, but after reading the information and a taking closer look at what she...

    Broody Hatchalong!

    I wasn't sure how long she could be off the eggs so about a week ago I put food and water right beside her in the best box. I still think she's starving herself though. Should I be candling her eggs? If so, how often is safe and when should I remove an egg?

    Broody Hatchalong!

    I’m new to hatching and need some help. Two weeks ago my hen went broody but this morning when I went to check on her, she’d moved nest boxes. In her old box were two eggs (not sure if they were abandoned or new eggs from my other girls). She has lost weight in the past two weeks and I’m...

    Rooster viciously pecking hen r

    I know that the current setup wasn’t going to work forever (two rooster with one hen), but I thought since they aren’t fully grown yet, it wouldn’t be a problem. That’s an interesting point though that I hadn’t considered 🤔 After the first incident and removing her from their pin, I tried to...

    Rooster viciously pecking hen r

    I have a flock of 4 hens, 1 rooster, and 2 guineas that are about a year old. About 4 months ago, I purchased 3 additional biddies to eventually. They were unsexed and I ended up with 2 roos and 1 hen. At about 6-8 weeks old, the smaller rooster started picking fights with the larger rooster...
