    I have a hen who is definitely getting up in years now. I've had her 6 years, she was full grown when I got her. Anyway, she still is very active and spunky normally. I recently dealt with 2 problems simultaneously with her. We had a Northern fowl mite infestation which I treated with warm baths...

    Check up reveals hole in beak and possible leg mites?

    I have a broody girl in broody jail starting this morning. When I got home I walked over to hang out with her and noticed two things: she has a hole in her beak and her leg scales look raised.

    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...

    Mites - The Battle of 2021

    For the first time in my 20 years of owning free-range chooks, we have Northern Fowl mites. I have no idea where they came from as we live on an isolated rural farm but suspect it's from a recent wood duck invasion... Fortunately, only one hen was infested (she was broody so an easy mite...
