    Thanks for all your responses. Update - I brought my silkie to the vet today. They had to put him to sleep, he was suffering and not getting any better.

    What am I doing wrong?! Very discouraged with sick chickens.

    Yes, the chicks from the hatchery were vaccinated. So about 6 weeks ago I found little mites on my silkie. Okay, backstory -- My hen house is used. It's an OverEz Large hen house. Ventilation is the windows and some areas near the roof. I cleaned it before putting my chickens in there. However...

    What am I doing wrong?! Very discouraged with sick chickens.

    That is very hard for me to believe but maybe I'm missing something? I'm out there almost daily cleaning up their poo with a scooper. I wash their waters with soap every 4 to 5 days. Their hen house gets cleaned with new pine shavings every two weeks, while scooping out the major spots every...

    What am I doing wrong?! Very discouraged with sick chickens.

    They are in my backyard. They have half of the yard blocked off, so they're running around lots of grassy area. I also have a 7x26 ft chicken run with sand in it. Every couple of days I go out there and clean poo out of chicken run and spray the grass to get the extra droppings washed away. I...

    What am I doing wrong?! Very discouraged with sick chickens.

    Oh okay. I didn't think of something coming from the farm. I am feeding them a mix of crumble and laying pellets from Naturewise. I think I should look into getting a Necropsy done at this point....

    What am I doing wrong?! Very discouraged with sick chickens.

    Hello everyone, I may sound like a broken record at this point. However, I'm at my wits end. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I've made some big mistakes?? I would really love some honest feedback. I have a young flock of about 12 chickens. All ranging from 3.5 to 5 months old. We...
