    Can someone confirm if this is scaly leg mites?

She is having a harder time keeping up with the flock and scratching for bugs. I thought she was just getting arthritis but now I'm convinced that most of her...

    Mites?

    We have been fighting what we think are mites all summer. It has been wet for months. We have cleaned and used what seems like everything to try to get rid of them. Part of the problem is that we're not sure what they have. The "mites" are white and are on the middle and top of the feathers...

    Poultry lice on my hair!!!

    Sad story, but my Rooster suddenly died on me this morning. I'm like 85% sure he choked while eating. Especially since his comb and wattle was purple the moment i saw him thrashing around. Anyways, long story short, I went to go process him. I periodically check my flock for lice, but looks...

    Leg mite opinions needed

    Hello, When I was inspecting my hens this morning I noticed they had rather dry bumpy legs (with some dark spots under the edges of a couple of the scales) and was wondering if these were early signs of leg mites.

    hello! I was just at a neighboring county’s county fair and was watching the rabbit show. During the rabbit show the judge told this one young lady and the crowd to use Ivomec 3 weeks before their next fair to “enhance rabbit/ fur quality.” Now I have heard if giving small dosages of Ivomec...

    Hi Guys! Since you were amazing last time in helping me figure out what was wrong with my chickens the last time, I figured I would ask for some more help. Recently, we were hit by Hurricane Irma and during that time my bantam hen's (tiny belle) eggs decided to hatch. I am now the proud mother...
