I was checking my girls over tonight and found some mites and eggs on one gal so I thought I best bathe her and then dust her. I thought maybe that is why my LO was loosing weight and not very active. I did find a mite on her. It is hard to go through all her fluff. Decided just to go ahead and...

I last wormed my girls in December with Valbazen due to tapeworms. Worked fine with all but one gal. They seem to not leave her. She went downhill. Dawg suggested I-Gold for her. Unfortunately she passed away last week. ( Couldn't get rid of her worms) SO , today someone has worms in their...

This is all new to me. If this is worms, what kind are they and what action do I take? And I have read that most meds you give, you have to discard their eggs for 24 days? Now that it has started to cool down here, 7 of my 9 layers are laying almost every day. Never a dull moment here! Murphy's...

I happened to be in the chicken coop checking the egg boxes and my 2 Shih Tzu's were barking a ferocious bark that I have never heard from them. I looked out the coop door and thought maybe the neighbor was looking over the fence. ( 3 gals were singing the egg song) I saw no neighbors, but the...

Hi All, I noticed my GLW had swelling between her toes. I washed off her feet and found the black scab! On both feet no less. My poor Gretchen. There are so many opinions on how to treat. I would like to do this on my own but what do you all suggest and what items to I need prior to helping...

Went to the feed store with my nephew and we got chicks. We ended up with 4 Cuckoo Marans (and other breeds) and he picked the two he wanted to keep and the other two went home with me. I got a better look at them and was wondering is there any difference between the ones with colored breasts...

I was so excited when my EE laid her 1st egg on February 2nd. Then on the 5th, another and then another on the 11th. She was 26 weeks old when she started. Well here it is 4 weeks later and no more eggs from her. She is eating, pooping and acting like the rest of the gals and looks very healthy...

Millie is a Black Sex-link and currently is 25 weeks old. She laid her first egg on January 9th. It was laid in the nest box and all was going well until the 13th. I found 2 soft eggs on the poop shelf. I figured maybe one of the other gals laid it so no big deal. Then Millie stopped laying and...

This evening, like every evening at 5 p.m. I let the girls out of their pen and they get to roam the yard. Sometimes if the screen door is open they walk in and head straight for the dog food. ALL 8 of them were in the house when Millie started to squat?? Look like she was going to "dirty" the...
