    Lame hen - need guidance please

    A little back story first: New to chicken keeping; got our flock of four 5-6mo old pullets in April. About a month ago, I brought one of my hens (Tina) inside because she was keeping one eye closed and isolating herself. It was a little crusty and cloudy so flushed her eye with saline and...

    Help, swollen eye getting worse

    Please help. I don’t know what I’m dealing with. She is the oldest chicken I have and she has had eye problems for the last 3 days. I started antibiotic ointment for her eye today. But I’d like to know what I’m working with. No other symptoms of any illness or anything. Eating fine, active, and...

    Lice and Molting

    Hi! I recently discovered a lice problem on my chickens and I’ve been trying to figure a way to treat it but it seems all my chickens are molting. They have all the signs and I would like to treat them for the lice but I’m not sure how to do it without hurting/stressing them. They have been dust...

    Listless hen with yellow crusty skin in wingpits after Permectrin II treatment

    Hello friends, I have 3 barred rocks and a brahma that free range in our little spot in the woods. Our hens were gifted to us in January. We recently discovered a lice infection. We treated the hens and the coop with Permectrin II. We followed the dilution ratios on the Permectrin II bottle to...

    Could it be Lice?

    Hey guys, I have a question for you about lice. How common is it for 1 hen having lice out of your flock? I have a hen that suddenly lost and looks like she had broken top feathers along her mid back to the base of her tail. She still has plenty of fluffy down. It happened about 2-3 weeks ago...

    Lice eggs concern

    I have treated with Elector PSP for lice (please leave off your comments about elector psp not being labeled for use on lice, thanks) and I see zero live lice but there are still eggs at the base of the feathers. When will those fall off? Do I need to treat again? Feeling very paranoid about...

    Natural lice remedy.. too upsetting?

    I am in Canada, and if anybody lives here, they know how hard it is to find pest control. Long story short, im pretty sure my previously stray chicken has lice and has passed it to my other chicken (found a louse crawling next to her eye). I can only assume they are both infested. I only have...

    Elector PSP - two questions!

    Some of my flock have lice 😬. I treated everyone and the entire coop (after I stripped it) with poultry lice dust while I waited for my Elector PSP to arrive. It arrived today and I treated all my birds thoroughly with that. I saw no live lice but there were definitely eggs and I made sure to...

    Novice owner. Chicken losing feathers, recently started acting funny too.

    Hello, I'm very thankful there is a community for something like this. I am relatively new to chickens. My flock is 3 laying hens. My oldest is sick. She was my first chicken as we found her abandoned in the Australian bush. We took her to the vet when we first decided to adopt her. He said...

    chicken with bald patch

    My girl Wanda has been missing this patch of neck feathers for over a month. I have checked my entire flock for mites/lice multiple times and don’t see any so I figured it was molting - they started growing back and I didn’t think much of it but the last week they’ve started to fall again and...

    Lice and a lethargic chicken

    Hi everyone, I noticed today that my top hen, the Queen Bee is isolating herself. She's eaten and had some treats and water but shes been staying in the same few spots all day, barely foraging. I'm redoing my coop now and cleaning, dusting to rid the bugs. I have been waiting for warmer weather...

    Missing feathers on chickens back

    Hey guys ! Can someone help me figure out what's wrong with my chickens? Almost all of them are missing feathers on their backs. It doesn't seem to be bothering them though. I've tried checking for mites or lice but don't see anything on them. I don't believe it's my rooster over mating as I...

    Feathered Feet Vs. Mites

    recently I took one of my girls to get checked out by the vet for leg mites. (Different girl than photo). The vet said that my hen did not have mites.... but the one I took in looks the best out of all of them. I didn’t press the matter because it is a new vet and she came out and stood in the...

    Lice, mites, dry skin, dark comb

    Hopefully these pictures will help someone help me figure out what is going on with this hen and what to do about it. She's about 5 yrs. old Layena layer pellets (not the Omega type which as I'm reading maybe would be a good idea?) Her comb and face are dark. I'm adding a picture of her...

    Lice (in Australia)

    Hi there everyone, I have a dual problem with lice on my chooks. I only have 2 now and one recently was found dead in her nest. It was quite sad as she was the loner out of the 3 and had a period of being broody. I'd just brought her out of that and all seemed to be going well. Then I found...

    Feral Goat Lice Treatment?

    I adopted an orphaned baby goat a little over one week ago, and lacking an outside companion for her, she is currently a “house goat” until we can transition her to living outside (hopefully with my mother’s pet sheep. I’m bottle feeding her and introducing her to a textured goat feed, alfalfa...
