[coltsrox]

come on people i need ur help..........

 

[petlove]

He might have mites.

I don't know what to say, try putting a little vick or something smelly on his feet? The pooh I have no idea.
What about that stuff they use to keep kids from biting their fingernails? It's non-toxic.

 

[luvmychicknkids]

Yeah, sounds like he may have some parasites of some sort. So how old is he? 7 weeks or a year? And what is "normal" diarrhea?

 

[Cetawin]

Check his feet for scaley mites...these mites look like whitish or yellowish flakey scales...

I would dust him, his brooder area and everything with a mite powder.

mites??!!!!!!!oh no! he is 7 weeks old and he has been living in my bedroom with his pullet. will she be infected? i do have that stuff that used to stop kids from biting their fingernails, but thats not poinsouns?(urgh can't spell!) is my bedroom infected? how did he get it?!!!!! where can i get mite powder? does my pullet need to be dusted in it too? the only time he went outside was when i took him outside with the pullet for 45minnutes..could it be from outside? should they be moved out of my room?
his normal diaherra is just brown and runy.and he doens't have it consistently.

people i need more anwsers i'm going frantic i just moved them outside and its heart breaking them not being in my roomm keeping me up!!!!

Chicken mites don't effect people. For leg mites, to tell his scales on his legs and feet would be lifted. You can use Vaseline and rub it on their legs to kill the mites.

Dust the area where they are staying, but I don't know how safe it is to have DE or Sevin Dust all over your bedroom.

Anyway 7 weeks is old is old enough for him to be out in a coop, they no longer need heat and need to get out and get some fresh air.

whats vaseline?like mite powder? do i put that thumb sucking stuff on him? i just wanted him to be in my room though cause i want to hear him and be with him until he was like 12weeks cause for me there is once in a lifetime thing. can i move him back in??
