Wow, what pictures! Makes me wonder about a couple of mine that died previously.

I have a question regarding a new food I bought to get my girls of a mash. It is from Williams, CA. an organic from Bar Ale. I bought the Organic 17% Hi-Engergy Layer-crumble. They seem to be eating it ok. Has anyone tried this food? Or would it be better for my to use Nutrena Country brand? It is 50#.

The first ingredient is Organic Ground Corn, then Organic Soybeen Meal, and Organic Wheat Millrun. I know many of you don't use soybean or corn but my chickens have been eating this for 1-2 years and it is difficult to change them. Thanks for your opinion.

Advantage pops up for air sac mites but not front line. Interesting.

Quote: I order the SCATT online at www.ladygouldian.com, but ivermectin should work fine at the same dose for treating regular mites. It is available locally at any feed store. Hopefully someone here knows the dose.

Bantams is 2 or 3 drops. Large fowl is up to 5 drops. put one on the skin at the back of the head and the skin under each wing.

Here ya go! These were located where the air sacs are, so maybe?

Oh My that is so helpful to see!

Poor chicken.

I had to go back and make sure you got a thumbs up for this one!

Thank you for posting this.

Another reason to hatch in egg cartons.

We do hatch in cartons. There is always at least one born with all-wheel drive! The one greeting this new hatcher flopped itself all over to get around and say high. Once it was fluffy we had to remove it. It wasn't even dry and treated the egg cartons like they were part of the fun! Oh hooray - an obstacle course!

I think they do and I think I found evidence of them in my last at home necropsy. Want to see pictures? lol

Ok. So it's like frontline plus just a different ingredient. Do you know if it's ok to use even though I used frontline plus?

What's the treatment for the fungal infection you thought about?
