My buff brahma is finally growing back all of her butt and back feathers. She was completely bare and raw for months. Then out of no where her feathers sprouted back up!

I started free ranging for about 2 months and all was well until a hawk killed my dominque. I built a bigger run and they stay in there now

I'm thinking this is bullying or boredom from other hens. My same buff orpington was steadily plucking feathers from the brahmas back as she was relaxing in a dusting hole. Ive been concidering letting them free range for a little bit while I'm home but afraid they will go to far and not come...

I think i am going to scramble up some eggs for them for extra protein

I picked up like 4 burds and looked unser tail and vent area and didnt see any parasites. What else could be the culprit? My husband changed their diet by adding to much scratch and then gave them a flock block on top of that. I removed the block because they were just non stop eating it.

Went out and was only able to get 3 chickens to dust. I however did not see any mites or anything on them? The one who has the wound looks worse and swollen in that area. As i was trying to dust her my big buff orpington (who i keep catching plucking feathers from other hens but not chasing...

I havent seen a mite but they do show symptoms. I will check vent area when i go back out. I have a big coop so this is going to be a pain.

Went out and sprayed the mite treatment on the 3 birds who looked infected the most on their necks, backs, tails, vent areas and under their wings for now. I know i need to treat the whole flock (all 12 girls) but my son is inside sleeping so i wanted to be quick. Will go treat the rest of the...

Going to go attempt to at least spray the wound care on the brahma for now since i cant take my 8 month old out there with me to treat all the birds. Hoping my mil will come watch mt kids so i can go treat coop and birds.

Ok so my husband went to a different tractor supply and got all of this for me. How do i go about treatment?

Is that de food grade?

Of course my local store is sold out of the poultry dust. Is the DE not a good thing to use? What kind of wormer? I will get some tomorrow.

Well i noticed a few of my other hens plucking feathers from my other hens nonaggessivly. What is the easiest cheapest way to treat for mites? Just had my daughters party and money is tight

Zinc cream like desitin?

Is there anything i can mix in with the aquaphor to mask the red? Im about to head out to set up my daughters birthday party and dont have time to go to a feed store.

Ok so i had another post about my chickens looking odd but have determined it to be the 22 week tail feather molt. Only a few are losing feathers and when i look i see new feathers coming through aeound back tail and legs. I think they are also establishing new pecking order after removal of 3...
