Hey yall! I've dealt with de-pluming mites in the past so I'm always on guard for those- I noticed one of my roos tailfeathers is getting sparse. He has been fighting my other roo alot since we moved to a new property n there's been a big change. I see alot of new feather growth, however on...

I noticed my Rhonda girl was limping. Not sure if this is Bumblefoot or something else. I gave her an Epsom salt soak for 15 mins. Want to k kw what it is so I can treat my poor girl🙏 Thank you! Both of her feet have it, one worse 🥺 She is still eating, drinking, laying, acting normal.

Found this in some poop. Trying to diagnose so I can get my flock the right de-wormer. I have fenbendazole and Valbazan, but I don't think they're effective for tapeworms.

Found this in some poop. I've never seen a parasite like this, I'm a newb still. Wondering if they ate this? We just moved to a new area n they've been free ranging.

My silkie girl doesn't always make it in the coop before the automatic door closes. I check religiously every night to make sure she's in. I was sick in bed and did a half ass check that she wasn't on the ramp like usual. I'm not sure what happened. She is gone. No feathers or body. I am...

My rooster is about 19 months old. His crow has been struggling and now he isnt crowing for about 2 days. He is eating fine and acting pretty normal other than a shift in flock dynamics. It seems his position as alpha may hv been taken by my other roo. He is also molting. Would these factor in...

Ive had my flock for 8 mos. Still a newb. I noticed my roo has lost his long tail feathers, but has some growth coming in- all over. His mane ( is that what its called?)

I inhereited a flock w 2 roos n 10 hens. It works great, Im not gonna get rid of a roo. My question is they both chase off a hen, my silkie. They arent violent or overly aggressive. She doesnt seem to belong to either of them. She isnt sick. Any thoughts? She is the sweetest hen, a loner most...
