    HELP! Silkie has repeat lice and now dark runny poop

    My 4 year old silkie hen gets lice often and I treat her and they go away and come back again. Not right away but they do. I keep an eye on her rump and keep it debris free and she’s usually a clean hen unless she’s broody. Today I was holding her and saw a louse crawl across her face. Scrubbed...

    Mites on Silkies

    I have noticed over the past 2 weeks that my silkies have had these little black mites on them. They seem to cling onto their feathers, and the only time I have seen them on the skin is on my male, there were like 3 of them and they looked a little different, almost beige in color. I have been...

    Help with lice in the coop!

    I have a 1 year old Silkie rooster who came to us with scaly leg mites and lice. He is absolutely INFESTED! I’ve put out diatomaceous earth for him and the others, I’ve also bathed him in my sink countless time with flea shampoo to no avail. None of my other chickens have lice (or at least not...

    What are these & how do I get rid of them?

    So one of my silkies has been broody for a few weeks now and I’ve been keeping an eye on her (she does not get to hatch any babies this time, unfortunately). Today she got off her nest voluntarily for the first time in weeks—I picked her up and realized—HUGE parasite infestation. I haven’t...

    Coop and chickens infested with lice, pretty badly, need a little help.

    Hello all! I don't know how this happened, my Dad has been taking care of the chickens and I have not been checking them for lice. Today I treated a pullet for what I think is worms, she is pale losing weight and is not active. Does a lot of sleeping. I picked her up and held her when I was...

Now the chickens are missing more feathers on their back towards the tail and under their vents. It seems like they are picking at each other under...
