    Exzolt and cydectin treatments. Treating mites and lice/worms

    Can you treat chickens with Exzolt and cydectin at the same time? My chickens have just had their second/last dose of Exzolt in their water. Can I topically treat with cydectin now aswell or is it best to wait?

    Flock Woes

    I've had this experience before with two other Buckeyes so I'm fearing the worst. I found Speckles this morning sitting out on the floor of my garage that has flake down as if she was planning to lay. Picked her up and put her in a nesting box. She didn't fuss. I checked her vent she was...

    Mites…?

    Hi, so I’m fairly new to chicken-keeping and I got a silkie a few days ago and recently discovered she has some reddish microscopic dot-like bug things..? Any idea what could those be and if they’re dangerous? Also how to possibly get rid of them? Thanks for all the help!

    Please help – months-long feather issues that I just can’t solve.

    I have 3 hens roughly 10 months old (1 Lavender Orpington, 1 Easter Egger, 1 ISA Brown.)

At first I thought it was feather picking on the back of the smallest hen (the Easter...

    Recently, my chickens have gotten a case of northern fowl mites. It is only 4 of them (they are in a separate coop). I was so devastated and shocked that they got them.

    What is this? White specs. Lice? Mites? Molting?

    Our silkie rooster has been looking pretty sad lately, feather loss and broken feathers. He has lost feathers right above his tail feathers as well as some near his wings. I assumed that he was just molting until it dawned on me today that maybe it could be lice. What do you guys think? I didn’t...
