    Unknown tiny black flies on my quails

    Hello, My quails have been fighting recently, resulting on damaged eyelids. I noticed they're itching their heads more than usual, and there's tiny tiny black flies on their faces, as if they were especially attracted to the ones with damaged bloody eyelids. I checked and I don't see anything...

    Broody Buff Orp, has worms??

    No use in beating about the bush: When I looked for eggs, I saw one (out of two) broody Orps and started to push her out of the box (because chickens are waiting in line, it's ridiculous) when I noticed something about a quarter inch long sticking out near the tail feathers. She's lost quite a...

    Chicken Stomping Feet and Obsessively Itching

    Hello all, One of our chickens is stomping her feet and then itching herself with her beak. She has been doing this for a few weeks, and I have inspected her thoroughly three times, and every time I don't see anything amiss other than some dry, flaky skin. Do chickens suffer from dandruff? :)...

    I have a white layer duck who is having some issues this spring. I got her (with a few others) last fall from a duck farm that was going out of business.

    Odd deposits on egg- parasite?

    Does anyone know what these deposits are on my Blue Copper Marran egg? Just started today and they scratch off like little eggs. At first I thought they were calcium deposits...but they scratch off easily. None on the eggs of the other chickens in the same box. Any ideas??

But I am waiting until they are old enough so I can let them outside when my parents watch them and I can clean the coop. (Their immune systems are not quite prepared for the open...
