Thank you! Lots of good info! I’ll see if I can get a pic tomorrow and hopefully the feed store has the wormer paste.

My year and a half old Orpington is having problems again. She has always struggled more than any of the other birds with mite/lice overload. Her tail feathers were looking greasy and dirty like they usually do when she has mites, but I looked and only see a few lice eggs. Today, she is having...

I think feather plucking is unrealistic. Looking at the eggs, I now think they are lice eggs. I’ve been dusting with permethrin weekly and the numbers are decreasing…… my birds would be bare butt if I plucked all the feathers with eggs.

They like to hangout under the lilac tree most of the time.

I live in Missoula, MT and we have been having some heat! It's been about 4 days of 100 degrees and will be about 8 or so more around there. Maybe even more...... I am doing all the things; cool water, frozen fruit, watering down shade area, electrolytes in water, a fan going, an ice bath...

Reading the symptoms, this sounds most like what happened. Thank you!

I have a flock of 3 Buff Orpingtons. I was out of town for 2 days and the weather was 82 degrees one day and 84 degrees the next. They have shade and water but that was there first heat experience. They are 8 months old. For the 3 months that I’ve had them, Bone Saw ( my chicken’s name) has...

Hi! I have 3 Buff Orpington's and one of them always has a huge watery poop when I let her out in the morning. The rest of the day, her poops are normal. Is it ok that she has diarrhea in the morning? What could be causing this?

One of my chickens does a massive diarrhea first thing when I let her out of the coop in the morning and is fine the rest of the day. Thoughts?
