    Chicks ears look swollen?

    This new flock is giving me a run for my money. The flock is twitching their heads, occasionally sneezing and scratching their heads. I separated two because they were showing signs before any of the others. Well now I look and it seems like around their ears are swollen and missing feathers...

    Head twitch and sneezing

    UPDATE: I ORDERED TYLOSIN FROM JEDDS THAT WILL BE HERE BY THE 29th. WISH MY FLOCK LUCK. 🤞🏼 I posted yesterday about my 5 - 6 week old chicks twitching their heads.

    Elusive Mites??

    Good morning I’ve had an issue with my flock for awhile now. They constantly shake their heads. It’s like a quick shake, say, like you would to shake your hair out of your eyes. They also constantly scratch their heads. They have lost feathers ALL summer, like they are molting. They have a good...

    Pullets scratch all the bedding from their roost area into the nestboxes

We have 6 20-week old pullets (1 Cinnamon Queen, 1 Jersey Giant, 1 Barred Rock, 1 Buff Orpington, and 2 Light Brahmas). The photo of my coop from TSC is linked to below with the description...

    Odd Behavior (edited)

    One of my Barred Rock hens disappeared 6 days ago. About 2 days after, she came back and ate with the rest like it was nothing. She was drenched (it had been raining) and smelled like old eggs. By that night she was gone again as she wasn't roosting with the others. After that, I didn't see her...

    toenail maintenance

    Hi. I just took over a couple hens from a woman who shows them. They both have crazy curly long toenails. I get it, as they really don't know how to "chicken" and I assume they've never been allowed to scratch. So i cut them and was able to get them pretty short, but now they're just these...
