    I have looked at these. Do they keep the birds out? My coop door is closed, but the birds fly in through the chicken door

    Mites

    Thank you! Yes I was planning on using powder on the hens I don't dip. I'm thinking I should only need to dip 2 or 3. My nephew is helping me today and is caring for my flock while I am gone. Thank you all for your help!

    Hatching chaos

    Yes. It is the other hens 1st time too. I do have an incubator but tried that with my last hatch since it was staggered because I was out of town when she started and other hens laid under her. I ended up with one sticky chick and tge others shrink wrapped and died. Good news is all 8 chicks...

    Hatching chaos

    Yesterday was day 21 hatch day. It's been really hot and my hen is a 1st time mom. Several eggs had pipped but the mom was across the small area off of all the eggs. Today has been more chaos. Some chicks hatched on their own, but others were shrink wrapped probably because she was off her...

    Mites, cats or feather picking?

    16% when I feed scratch I throw 2 handfuls for 24 birds so they don't get much. 2-3 times a week is probably more accurate

    Mites, cats or feather picking?

    Mites, cats or feather picking?

    Rooster injury

    I think the feather loss is from molting and the cat attack. I haven't noticed any being plucked, but I could be wrong

    Rooster injury

    I looked him over this morning and can't even find the original puncture wound. He has had 2 comb wounds, 1 cat and 1 rooster before I got him. Ideas?

    egg yolk peritonitis, ascites or something else?

    I had a hen last summer that laid internally and had a calcified egg inside of her. We put her down and investigated and it was very infected and gross. We could feel the egg fully formed inside, she hadn't laid for 6 months and she had a bad internal infection. Praying your girl is ok.
