What do you think is the best method to introduce new chickens to Lurdete? How shall I make this? Since Lurdete is the only one who survived is a bit different than introducing a single hen to a pack.

Made the purchase, let's wait for it to get delivered. It will take a while though, maybe next Saturday I have it ready. Meanwhile Lurdete is very sad inside the small co-op, I only let it out a bit in the evening after work so I can look out for her and be sure no more attacks are coming. I...

After some consideration and a good night of sleep, I am leaning to get something like this. I am thinking of installing some wheels so this is a mobile unit to go along my backyard. I will attach my coop to the steel frame and I am good to go. my wife even mentioned this is good to put a...

I am so sad. I never thought this could happen, ever.

Today is another very sad day for me. Got to the backyard and only see Lurdete. They come to me always so this is not normal. That is when I saw feathers scattered around and Lisete body, guts ripped out, flies everywhere. Got to my CCTV and one goshawk attacked my poor chickens around...

I am having a very good run on egg laying, one per day on each chicken and sometimes a double yoke, I do not know how they can lay such big eggs lol. Do you think this hurts their tinny butts? (honest question here) Regarding the lice treatment, I am still waiting. What kept me waiting a bit...

is this the product you use? because it says it is not to use on the birds... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nettex-Total-Mite-Kill-Spray/dp/B003L6NZ4S/ref=cm_wl_huc_item anyway, just bought powder to put on the birds and the coop. I also got black bleach to apply pure, then wash... was the only...

Just came from a local store dedicated to rural and animal type of stuff, my hope is that they have the permethrin or equivalent since the last product I bought did not solve the problem at all. In the meantime my chickens still have lice, for how long can this go on until I have a major problem...

until now the other chickens seem to be doing fine, Lisete is also laying eggs since sunday, one per day everyday. lets hope they keep going without problems.

it is done, not easy at all, but if it was me and no one knew what was wrong I would be thankful. once again many thanks for everything. one last question. what should I do with the feeder, drinker, etc that were with Susete? if I wash them can I use them with Lisete and Lurdete? edit> I did...

Just made the call to the vet, after explaining that besides the start of the treatment only made 24h, the animal is not showing any improvement and is has been like this for 3 days now. Was trying to feed her again, she actually grabbed a pellet food for some times but then she drops them and...

caught a beetle and gave it to her out of despair to see if she gets some protein, she seems she wants to eat it and tries the movement to peck it but she quits in the middle and chews with an empty beak. so sad to see this. the beetle now burrowed in its food, will have to search for it...

Now it seems she want to eat but cannot measure distances properly so she misses the target but still chews without food inside its mouth. What do I have to do?

update: Susete can move when she wants I believe. I took her out of the cardboard box I had her into all night to cover the poop with paper, when one of my dogs showed up and she got scared a opened her wings and moved for like 2 meters before she stood still again (maybe spent all energy in...

The powder I bought from a pet shop, it is specific to use on pets that have these kind of parasites. But on the coop I bought another product since the powder is only 100 gram package. I diluted this other product with water and sprayed the whole coop twice yesterday. I explained to the...

Hello to all, This is my first post here but I have been reading the forum for a few months already, mainly topics related with advice for new chicken owners like me. so, I am in trouble to post here. I have bought 3 black australorp hens maybe 2 months ago, they were about 5 months old, they...
