    Wing feathers injured

    Our Pekin duck has disfigured wing feathers and a strange discoloration that almost looks like mildew in places. She is not being picked on by the flock. She has access to a pond and has clean, dry bedding. The other ducks look healthy. We initially thought the discoloration might be genetic...

    Chicken Mites/Lice

    I checked my rooster today for mites, and there was a huge red spot near his vent that I’m pretty sure is due to lice or mites. I’ve cleaned out the whole coop and the bedding, sprayed it down with poultry lice coop spray (including the roost), and mixed poultry dust with the bedding. I’ll dust...

    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...

    Pressure Sores or Infection?

    The silkie chick I'm treating for severe wry neck has these discolored spots in some places. I thought they were from her lice infestation but now that all the lice are gone, these spots have scabbed over but not gone away. She hasn't been able to stand or walk for a little over 2 weeks. I just...

    Itchy Buff Orpingtons going Bald.

    I am looking for help with what to do for our two lovely Buffs. A month ago we noticed the feathers on their heads (just their heads, no other places anywhere on their bodies) missing.

    What is this on the skin of 8-week-old?

    Noticed this when moving them outside for the first time, they had only ever been in a brooder so I’m not sure what it could be? And how to treat? It’s just this one chicken. Thanks

    How to treat a used coop

    Hello, chicken newbie here. I bought a pre loved coop. The previous owner gave it a quick clean. There is still dust and poo left behind. I know I need to clean that, but what I don't know is the best option? Should I assume the previous flock had lice and mites and preemptively treat for...
