    Mites on chickens/my dogs/and biting me too?

    Hello there, I will try to keep this brief and informative in hopes to get advice on my situation. I’m wondering if my 1 or more of my hens might have mites. For the last 2ish months, our 2 bassets have had a sudden skin irritation, resulting in hair loss, scaly skin and almost constant...

    9 month old female chicken - is she molting?

    Hi everyone!! Thanks for all the help lately. This young lady has been “losing feathers” for a Couple weeks now and she is looking so homely, poor thing. From what i read, she is likely too young to molt but it’s still a slight possibility. We have a total of 4 chickens living together in a...

    Bloody comb and possibly cracked beak?

    Thank u 🙏 The soldier fly ones are a diff variety :). I think the issue with what we were doing was that we were giving them a bunch every day. Like 2-4 mason jars full every day for 5 ladies 😕 from what I’ve been reading, we were really allowing them to over indulge 😣 we’ve been giving...

    Bloody comb and possibly cracked beak?

    Thank you for the encouragement!! They are on purina organic layer and oyster shell. Prior to the liver hemmorage gal, they were also getting a ton of party flock worms which I’ve since found out aren’t the best thing to allow them to over indulge in :/ i keep a small bowl of food in their run...

    Bloody comb and possibly cracked beak?

    My girls were out free roaming and this lady was hiding in a bush and didn’t want to go into her coop. I’m pretty sure she’s molting(?). Do you think one of her 3 other lady friends is pecking at her to make her beak and comb look like this? I think her beak is cracked. I currently have...

    Why did my 5 month old hen die?!? 😥

    Hi there! I’ve been browsing threads searching for info — my seemingly healthy 8 month old barred rock lady curled up in the corner of the coop and died today. How in the world do I figure out where (if even avail) we could send her for a necropsy? Thank you so much in advance!

    Duck biting my ankles and running in front of me

    Good morning! We have 2 male peking ducks that have recently began biting our ankles (and sometimes toes if available) and running in front of us as we walk, essentially almost tripping us:hmm. They always have duck pellets available to them but they mostly free range for food and have been...

    Duckling’s poop looks like cous cous?

    Great idea. The cardboard is due to be swapped out for gym mats. My husband just mentioned they ate some newspaper the morning of the 24th and i saw this poop this morning (26th). I sent a pic to our vet and will keep a close eye on things. Thank you sooo much for your help!!
