    Wet silkie and cooler temps

    Hello. I have a silkie rooster who has been enjoying himself in the rain all day and is totally drenched. It's supposed to be 11 degrees Celsius this evening. Is that too cold for him to be outside at night? Do I need to blow dry him or bring him inside? Thank you

    Sick hen - mites, pain, not moving much

    Thank you for the advice, I'll definitely follow it. I'm not sure she's going to make it unfortunately. I'm also wondering at what point do I decide that she's not going to recover and is suffering unnecessarily... I feel euthanasia is humane sometimes 😕 Definitely sad tho. 😔

    Sick hen - mites, pain, not moving much

    Hi. I live in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I dewormed with 0.1 ml of ivermecton. I have not treated for the skin critters yet and will try your suggestions. Here is a picture of the hen's feet taken about 2 weeks ago. They have less mites now but more raw 😪 I gave her a warm bath today and she loved it...

    Sick hen - mites, pain, not moving much

    Hello. I'm very new to owning chickens. I acquired 3 hens from a farmer that didn't take the best care of them. All 3 have scaley leg mites and a few other critters running around on their skin. I've treated them all with dewormer and will wait to see if that works. One of the hens has...
