I’m going to tomorrow morning! I’m going to inspect her vent area and wings really closely as well. If if was mites, it’d be odd that other birds aren’t showing signs right?

Now that you mention the “v” shaped feather, I have noticed that! I’m thinking now the head lady is picking on her as well as the black Australorp. She causes my problems but she’s my best layer 😫 I do not have a roo… I need to do a thorough inspection for lice and mites tomorrow near her...

She’s still in her crate! I gave her some scrambled egg today to try and cheer her up. So this might be ignorant of me, but I didn’t know they were broken feathers and I still don’t see any breakage on them. The only time I’ve seen a broken feather was a broken blood feather so maybe I’m just...

Interesting! Can I get it at Murdoch’s or Tractor Supply? Once I confirm it’s actually mites of course…

Well I’ve never seen mites before so I’m just guessing because I saw black specs on her feather. I talked through her symptoms to the shop owner and it sounds like it’s not mites. But there’s nothing at the base of the feather and the black specs aren’t moving. I thought DE killed mites?

I spoke to our local chicken store owner who has chickens himself and he’s not convinced it’s mites. She’s laying fine, not mood changes, no other birds showing signs…

I have read a lot of things. There’s almost too many threads, too much advice, can’t try it all

I spend a lot of time with them and I’ve never seen her get pecked… she’s actually one of the bullies. They have 90 square feet and there’s 8 birds but they also have the entire 10,000 sq ft yard most days. They haven’t gotten out much lately because of the snow though. We live in colorado

So I just went out and checked the buff rock again and it looks like she does have mites. I’m shocked no other bird is showing signs… I’m going to get some DE for their dirt bath, any other suggestions to get rid of them?

Also, they organic feed and have access to egg hells 24/7 and they have grit and since it’s been cold out I’ve been feeding them dried mealworms and corn.

I think it honestly got to cannibalism! There’s definitely missing flesh!

There’s not overcrowding but they definitely could be bored because we’ve had a ton of snow so I haven’t let them out to free range. I am not sure how the wound occurred! She is definitely the shy and submissive one of the group and there’s one bully in the group. I have her in a dog crate and...

Hi everyone! First thing I’m look for advice on is a wound. One of my australorps had a cut and the other birds were pecking the blood so I put her in the hospital until it dried up and then released her but kept an eye on her. I just got home from a walk and noticed they were pecking her...
