We have him in a cage with his gang - although he doesnt seem to eat or drink much. We're having to do that manually mostly to make sure he is getting enough.
We've applied the ivermectin which only arrived today. I checked through his feathers again - really doesn't seem very many of these...
Yep ok. Brought some in - we use an awful lot of DE already everywhere it makes sense to.
We recently got 2 new hens from a farm - maybe they brought some with them. Got some of that Ivermectin arriving tomorrow.
See how the little fella gets on after that.
I appreciate the fast response! I'll endeavour to combat these little buggers.
What would be the best course of action to remove them not just from him but potentially the coops too?
One of my silkie roosters, 2 years old, seems to be getting weaker after not really walking for a week. At first he looked to be hobbling outside. We brought him in and found he is leaning heavily to one side and not moving even to pick up food. We think that is because he doesn’t want to lose...
