Thanks. I ended up giving her a bath, used some coconut oil to loosen them...had to clip several and even then there is a little bits of the egg clumps left. She has a bald spot on her bottom, poor girl. She did enjoy her bath and blow dry :) Gonna dust her a couple more times just in case...

Hi fellow Oregonians/Washingtonians! :) So...I just treated my flock of 7 birds with Ivomectin 1% injectible, drops on the skin for mites. Then Poultry Protector spray in the coop and then replaced the bedding. One of my hens was badly infested, with several LARGE egg clumbs around the base...

Thanks guys....I'll let you know how bathing her goes, lol....luckily she is pretty tolerant. So I've read to put the ivermectin on her skin...should I give orally or put it on topically? What about the other hen that has a dirty butt and runny poops? She eats good and shows no other sign of...

Hi guys....couple of questions.....I got a columbian hen to be friends wig my lil Fav cross.....she always has had runny rust colored poop. Does that mean she is sick or that I need to give her something? Her feathers back there are always dirty with dried poo ect. Next question...lil Fav has...

Hi guys! All you Central OR peeps getting ready for fair? I've never looked at the chickens at fair, always did cattle...but now I will be going to the chicken barn to see all the different kinds. Anyone in Central OR have silkies for sale? My neighbor has a lonely silkie. :-(

Got a Columbian 3 month old hen...I think that's what she is....Nellie immediately started circling her over and iver and trying g to nozzle up under her legs. This new girl has not pecked once at lil nervous Nellie. I feel so thankful that I finally have a solution. They are all in the coop...

I'm going to need therapy for getting sentimental over these darn chickens!!! :P Suzie...thank you....guess it was God's lesson in never giving up. My neighbors have chickens too and the lil 10 yr old girls held a funeral for her today, and we painted a rock to go in the garden for her. <3 The...

Mini, my cross beak passed away this morning. :( She's in a better place and not suffering anymore. Sad day.

Thanks Jeanine, I just think that with as many birds as she has she didn't have a chance to observe this chick to see that she does the motion of eating bit is not getting very much in if at all. The way she stands and sleeps all day and is so weak and wobbly, having trouble keeping her...

Yay for going to Winchester again! We're going to Newport in August...cannot wait!!!! So I got the two new girls. I'm so sad about the cross beak one. The lady said she eats fine...well she has no lack of "try"....but she is not very good getting the food in and is SO THIN. Had to bring...

Yes it is!!! She said she was fine at hatching and then something happened. Oh that makes me feel better that you know of her! :-)

Thank you...that's what I was thinking...she's obviously growing fine. I just emailed the lady and told her I would take both. I really hope my lil banties get along with their new siblings. :-)

LOVED the new pics from Cluck N' Chatter ranch. Such cuties! So I'm getting 2 new chicks to go with my bantams, in case I have to get rid of Honey the roo. I'm so indecisive....1 choice are 2 Favorelles that are 8 wks old....however one has a pretty severe cross beak. And I'm worried about...

1chicken fan...I pm'd you...I'd love to get a bantam hen....I would feel better that way that Mousey had a companion if Honey the roo has to go....I think my bantams are about 9weeks old. No heat lamp last night...and all was ok! :) Just went out and gave them all some cut up...

Hi neighbor, Sherry! I think I might leave heat lamp off tonight...I. sure dont want them to be too hot. One of my black sexlinks is a little lopsided. Like one leg is angled kind of weird and her wing doesn't lay nicely against her body. Doesn't seem to bother her too much....guess it must...

I'm still turning heat lamp on my girls at night. How bout the rest of you? It still gets so cold at night, I worry bout them. At what overnight temp should I turn it off. Should I put golf balls or something in the nest box? My girls are about 4 months old....will they know to lay there? I...

Yay! Thank you for a little ray of hope. :-) Hoping I can work something out, cause I love her.
