Itching Chickens.

[Isadora]

I have found out that chickens DON'T poop when you hold them--I kid you not--it's a known behavior in chicken showing

My chickens have not been told this.

Wow. I‘m sorry that DE didn’t work for you. The afternoon after I powdered my chickens they actually quit scratching. Maybe it works on some bugs and not others. It is good to know.

DE isn't worth a crap for me. I have tried it on dogs, cats and chickens. I trusted it because everyone bragged on it so much. I dusted my dogs and cats down twice a week through the spring and half the summer. I used it all in my yard their beds and even sprinkled it in my carpet. I ended up with a cat that had chewed into his hide and dogs miserable. I noticed my arm was itching pretty bad and got to looking. I had flea bites. My dogs had fleas like crazy. I had to move everything, vacuum, steam, and spray my home and yard. I do throw it in the dust bath for added dust and dust them a bit for the same reason.
I also fed it to dogs and chickens. Dogs still had worms so I ordered Frontline Plus to get rid of the darn fleas. Thank God I am flea free...broke from the frontline for 4 dogs, but flea free lol
I thought maybe my chickens had fleas but they don't. It is definitely preening. They do exactly like the YouTube videos.

I posted earlier today about a sour crop but I think it is a small blockage. I can feel little gritty stuff and it kind of fills like a piece of shelled corn. Do you know what to do with that?

I’m not really good at chicken problems.
