gosh, thats ore money and time than I could buy 5 more chickens with isn't it? lol, thanks for the info ill do what I can. if it continues to get worse than ill put her down, but not gratefully or happily.
Sorry, I don't see anything costing money yet. Depends on what the cause of the condition is.
If the rooster is in the same area, it is possible that he is mating her without you seeing it. Or he could be holding her down trying, and that could be the cause of the problem. Did you actually see lice or no?
