    What's with my ducklings raw patches?!

    Hi, I posted a thread the other day stating that I was concerned that my crested duckling had an eye infection. I'm proud to say that I've started spending more time with them, given them dunking water, gotten them comfortable with baths, and started applying Terramycin to her eye. However, upon...

    Permethrin for mites and lice

    My mother in laws chickens have been disappearing the last week, pretty sure thanks to raccoons, so they gave me their last two hens. I brought them home and put them in quarantine and noticed they were BADLY infested with mites and lice. I’ve never seen birds this bad! I didn’t have any dust on...

    Sulphur powder for lice

    Hi folks! I was recently given a sweet little silkie, and upon inspection found that she had lice - not a terribly case, but there were consistently 20-30 of the little stinkers hanging out around her vent each time I checked, plus some clusters of nits around the bases of her feathers in the...

    Lice Battle- DE? Dusting Powder...?

    So one of my girls had a dirty bum and I questioned if she had lice. Caught her yesterday and there they were on her and my other two girls. I read DE was very bad for their lungs and not to use it so I called the local feed store and they said dusting powder. So I bought a can gloved up put a...

    Lice + Coryza + Suspiciously Taciturn = ???

    We just got our first hen from what turns out was a very dodgy flock owner. We've had Peggy, a 6-month old Australorp/Barnevelder mix, for about a week and a half. She's our only current chook, seeing as we've discovered that she's got both lice and coryza and decided to postpone creating a...

    Coccidiose, Ascaridiose, Capillariose, Heterakidose, Lice, Gape Worms - HELP! @x@

    I'll add to the above title, an almost confirmed partly blocked and/or pendulous crop. The list just keeps getting longer. My 2018 year with chickens has started with a bang - the bad kind, and it has been boiling since at least mid-december 2017. The rookie that I am in poultry unfortunately...

    Chicks With lice!

    Hi! New to raising chickens. Hatched 6 from an incubator but then made the mistake of buying a couple silkies the same age from a local farmer and just found a bunch of lice under ones wings. I’m sure the others also have them bc they have been in the brooder together now for 3 days. What should...

    Pale combs, mites, fowl pox???

    Hey all, I have three hens - 1 polish, 1 red sex link, 1 Black sex link. We’ve been battling a bad case of mites since January on and off. Because it’s still cold here (Illinois) I’ve been using Prozap garden and poultry dust with permethrin. I was able to use a mite spray last week when it...

    Lice treatment?

    I've discovered lice on a few of my ladies. They share the same house so I'm sure it's going to spread to everyone if I don't go ahead and do treatment and preventive treatment for the other in a different house. My only worry is, I have 5 cats. What can I use that will effectively kill the bugs...

    Bald bottom and stopped laying!

    Around October my 10 month old Marans based hybrid stopped laying. Despite being a hybrid that is supposed to lay through winter, I just put this down to a reduction in daylight hours and thought no more of it. She did lay two unexpected eggs last week, meanwhile my other girls have carried on...
