Ok so this is my problem. I have a lice issue, its bad but not horrible. Was cleaning a butcher bird and noticed the mites on the carcass. I have purchased Martins 1qt Permethrin 13.3% solution. How would I apply this to my birds? I'm very new and learning as I go.

Ehhh its farm life. Appreciate the condolences but if we all get attached to every farm animal we bring in, then it would be even tougher for us when it comes time to process. I expected it but was hopeful it would make it. So EBAY hatching eggs. Bought 18, hatched 8. So right under 50%, I...

The chick was dead in the brooder this morning. : (

I would look to hydro hen available at tractor supply. If she is egg bound, you can youtube a few videos on how to check for that and how to manage it as well. I also would think a small apple cider vinegar, honey and garlic clove would not hurt as well. Make sure that its the vinegar with the...

Yes they are full black with orange hints on the neck. Their feathers are pearlescent when the lights hit them, a rainbow reflects on top of the black, very beautiful hens. I'm so upset about the two I lost

I had two black rocks die over the past two days. One of the hens were sitting on the corpse but it almost looked like the hen was sad. At 13 weeks old, I have no idea why they died. I have ideas but don't really know. There were no peck marks, all the hens have been together since they hatched...

Good news! Chick made it through the night is doing much better.

this is one is still not doing well its flailing around. still can hold neck up. struggling to get feet under it. cant stay moving and down isn't drying but yet the other 8 are thriving, may have to just let this one go

We had 18 fertilized eggs. So far 9 of them have hatched, one dead in shell and 2 didn't propagate, 6 still unhatched. One of the 9 that hatched successfully, is having some issues. Not able to pick up head, legs shaking a lot, lathargic and just weak looking. The other 8 are healthy and strong...

Well out of 6 eggs scheduled to hatch by now, it appears we have lost two. They havent hatched. One was scheduled this past Sunday, another was scheduled on Tuesday. The 7/1 hybrid hatched with force. We are doing an egg autopsy to see what stopped the hatching from taking place on the two eggs...

Nah not really caring if it hatches or not just dont want all that broodiness to go in vain lol. At least let them try, if they work I may have a hen I can use for my young hatched chicks. If it works that way. Still trying to figure things out myself.

Ok great thank you

I had a hard time getting my hens to lay when we got them. What I did was make a mixture of Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother, Honey and freshly minced garlic cloves. I use a five gallon waterer so my measurements may not work for you but I use 2 cups of vinegar, 1 cup of honey and 1 whole...

I have two very cute pet bantams that are a part of my production flock. Over the past 4 days, both have stopped laying, they both stay in the nesting box like they are trying to lay. They are not egg bound and feel like they have gone out of lay. I did the vent and pelvic spacing check. They...

I just bred a large blue cochin with a cinnamon queen, I'm hoping a bigger layer with maybe some reduction of egg production. They just hatched. They were tough to hatch, we lost two in egg pre hatching stage and we lost another in hatch stage. We had everything right as I've just hatched a few...
