Just a follow up on details of this thread. Lily is doing fine. She still has not laid eggs as well as my two other EE hens. I have attributed it to breeding/ and poor Hatchery gene pool. They thrive and free range nonetheless still with the rest of my flock. Keeping up with the best of...

Hi Odelia. I try to stay positive and know that I live in a very beautiful spot. But these snow storms and 5-6 month winters really make me question my sanity. LOL. We lucked out. The system pushed up a little further north. We got a bunch of rain where we are and brought down the...

Thanks eggcessive. I believe I found old hemorrhages encapsulated within as well. I was wondering what they were exactly...after reading this I'm sure that's what they were. Plan for everybody. Worming, strict diet. They've been getting greens pretty much everyday all winter. Kale and...

Despite being a free range bird 6 months out of the year. I suspect the overgraining is what killed Iris--or corn based feeds. I did her necropsy this morning. The wall of fat to get to her abdominal cavity was 3/4 inch thick. I'm not exaggerating. She wasn't that easy to "clean" compared...

I took Iris out of the freezer last night to thaw. She was still pretty frozen this AM. Amazing what an insulator those feathers are. I will check to see if I can proceed tonight. Interestingly enough...and had forgot about this...but she had blood smeared up her comb....source seems to...

I'm going to get Valbazen in those non-laying birds tomorrow morning. What a sad story. That poor hen. Feeling jipped on the Ivermectin. May as well dig out the Poultry Dust again. They looked good after 2nd treatment. Week 3 was good...little surprised to see that on the roo tonight.

As soon as this MN weather let's go with it's icy grip. I've got a coop project to do some deep cleaning. Getting paint on the bare boards, etc. I've got NEEM oil for plants handy. What have you heard as far as mechanics for this and parasites. Will it work systemically on the parasite or as...

Weird. I just read a few threads on the med and it's getting rave reviews. I don't know what to think. I checked the roo tonight and he's got little baby lice running around on him again. So I put some of the new Ivomec on him. We'll see what it does. Check everybody else out tomorrow...

My birds aren't having their feathers eaten away so I'm guessing these are the general, run of the mill, Lice with a few mites put in for good measure....So it usually works for these guys right?

I've heard Ivomec is iffy for worms or not effective at all. But another BYCer I've consulted near me --she's a breeder and has about 60-70 birds...she did well last fall with it for Lice and Mites. Said it knocked them right out for her. She had issues with the Poultry dust--inhalation by...

Seminole wind that is so interesting about you finding your birds, and all the blood. Lily is doing well right now, though...which is the baffling part. I still fairly certain it was her. My Iris looked a little puffed up the morning of her death...but other than that there wasn't much for...

In the mail today I have a Box from VetValley. Boy they were pretty fast. I got Ivomec pour-on in case I'm missing lice and mites after the powdering and in the off-chance it still works on the worms I have around here. And the Corid is here now too. Am I okay to get all these meds on board...

I wormed everybody with Valbazen after their Molts (to prevent funky feather regrowth) I'd say early October --1/2 cc. We were already starting to freeze. Ponds and swamps were dried up and/or frozen over....not to say we could have had some warming and they just picked it up again. I did the...

This is Lily. Gray Easter Egger. I'm trying to figure out why Im not getting eggs from her and two other easter eggers who appear to be healthy outwardly. This is what I've got for a History with this one: >>From the start this almost two year old hen has had ACV in her water everyday...
