    Infection/ feather loss on chicks neck

    My silkie Lola is a 5 weeks old and has a sibling Lolita. I got them from family, farm & home and noticed no issues but put them both in a brooder by themselves (they were bigger than the other chicks by a lot). Recently we got 3 small Rodies from the same place and put them in with Lola and...

    Is it always serious?

    Hello everyone my name's Rebecca! I'm new to BYC and raising chickens! BIT of background: I raised 5 day old chicks. At 7 weeks one turned out to be a rooster that I sadly had to rehome due to zoning regulations. To keep our flock number at 5 we decided to rescue a similar age pullet (6-7...

    Lice maybe? Hen with bare neck

    Hello! I have 6 hens about 10 months old. All are laying daily, but one hen, Lois, has been missing her neck feathers for about 1.5-2 months now. At first I thought uneven molting or pecking order, but neither seem to be the case. I’ve been adding calcium to their diet but no change. Recently...

    Royal Palm Tom Losing Chest Feathers

    I have a male Royal Palm turkey, and the other day we noticed he is losing all his chest feathers. The feathers are whole, which makes me think this isn't from lice, although he does have lice in his tail feathers. I sprayed the entire flock, all 8 turkeys and 30 chickens, with Permethrin the...

    Silkie with lice has lost her balance

    Our silkie hen has been acting strange as of a few weeks ago. She is around four or five years old and is at the bottom of the pecking order in our flock of five bantams. I felt her crop this evening and it did not seem very full, and I could tell she was very skinny as I could pinch her keel...

    Scissor Beak Chicken with Lice/mite infestation

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for some help and advice. I have a small scissor beak barred rock hen who is about 9 months old, with a really bad infestation of lice and mites. She obviously can't groom herself like other chicken, and she is a bit "special". I don't think I've ever seen her in the...

    Help! Stubborn lice on my favorite rooster!

    Short story - we have one rooster who hasn't responded to pesticides well as the rest of the flock, and has a terrible lice infection, as well as scaly leg mites. He's very underweight. How should I treat him? More detail - I've sort of adopted my boyfriend's family flock over the past...

    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...

    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...
