I haven't, but I will do a bit of a google and find out what I'm looking for. As I said, they don't seem to be distressed at all, but look a bit pathetic.

My Isa's have rubbed the feathers of their necks from pushing out threw the chicken wire to eat grass when I cant let them free range (about 3 weeks due to extreme bad weather and rain) Looks awful but they are happy and fine, I have been treating for mite/lice but dont think thats the issue here .......

Is anyone else having an early moult in their flock?

I have had like 4 chickens already moulted and 2 are currently moulting.



Also I have mites....

... So annoying.
Sorry not sure why I'm telling you all.

Hey Ash

I saw your post in the qleensland heeler? tread.

Do you breed Coolies or just own them ?

I have owned them for 25 years. The breeding was accidental - my 9 year old Kioolie/Heeler cross just happened to meet a pedigree Koolie male.

my Isa's are bedraggled as well... .... .... one had lice 3 weeks ago and i have been
hitting them and the coop since ... ... today I couldnt find any

I hope you can get on top of it quickly...

Oh poor isa's lol. I have never understood why the moult at the coldest part of the year?

I sadly haven't gotten onto of it quickly I have had them for 3 weeks now, they are horrible.

There is baycox, which is expensive but one of the best on the market. There is also a powder that you can buy at most produce stores called
Amprolium 200 which is okay (I've heard) but not as effective.


I really hope it all works out for you, I've got Coccidiosis in my soil so I know the pain of it. Good luck!

What do you mean in your soil? Is that how its caught?
