Please help!! Any advice would be much appreciated.... I have given deworming, probiotics... giving a bath and cut the fluff feathers around my hen's bottom.... But it keeps coming back and looks like it is getting worse... she has a really bad pasty butt and after getting all of it of the area is extremely red the following days...
My other problem is she has also taught the entire flock to eat the eggs.... I try and collect the eggs as soon as they are laid.. but if I am not there as they are laying, my hen is eating them and now a couple other hens are doing it too!! I can tell since they have "egg on their faces".... I have put golf balls in the nesting boxes... I have 6 hens and 3 nesting boxes.... I have heard to fill an egg with mustard... is this ok? Any other ideas.....
UUUGGGHHHHH Frustrated !!!!!!
