    3 day old chick sitting on hocks

    Thanks! I did do the chick chair and I wrapped both of his legs with double vet wrap to make little stints to keep his legs straight. Will keep it in that for a few days and hopefully it will solve the problem. The other 6 that hatched are perfectly fine. It seems like every time I do a hatch...

    3 day old chick sitting on hocks

    I have a 3 day old Polish chick that I first thought had splayed legs so braced. But it just keeps sitting on its hocks. Any other time I’ve had a baby with splayed legs, after bracing the usually show marked improvement. This one is not. I just started dipping its beak in some poultry cell and...

    Interesting reply from the makers of Elector PSP

    Well it seems like quite a few people use it with no ill effects. I know I’ve been using it for about 3 years and have never had a problem. And it’s not a chemical so I feel much better using that than ivermectin or other chemicals. And I did have a chicken once that almost died from me using...

    Interesting reply from the makers of Elector PSP

    Sometimes it seems as if mites are really attracted to a certain chicken and really infests them. When that happens, I will just fill my laundry sink with water and Elector and just dip them so I can make sure to cover every inch of them as the freaking mites are just all over their body. So I...

    Rooster has poop clogging vent

    I have had a ongoing problem with mostly roosters in that they seem to get a adult version of pasty butt. Their poop hardens and clogs their vents. I had two little D’uccle roosters die last year. And I currently have 3 more roosters that I have to constantly monitor and bathe to remove the poop...

    Thanks! Have read everything I can but haven’t seen anything stating they pass as fast as she did. That’s why I’m looking for anyone that has experienced a turkey die of Blackhead.

    Raw Apple Cider for mites?

    Has anyone ever sprayed Raw Apple Cider directly on chickens that have mites. I tried it for the first time and it actually seems to kill them! I sprayed directly on the mites.

    Help, Can’t get rid of mites off of Rooster

    He is doing soooo much better today. Eating and drinking on his own. He is ACTUALLY taking a dust bath which delights me! Upon inspection this morning, did not see mites on him but there were some dead ones in the tub. I will keep him in for probably about 3 more days as I will spray him with...

    Help, Can’t get rid of mites off of Rooster

    No, I haven’t. But he seems to have not lost an extreme amount of weight. He is weak which I’m sure the anemia has a lot to do with that. The good news is I put him in our courtyard today as it’s a beautiful warm day. He actually ate some scratch, some grubblies and some peas. And he’s walking...

    Help, Can’t get rid of mites off of Rooster

    I have given h i have given him that. And I honestly don’t know if I should keep giving him the Kaytee baby bird feed every feeding because it has a lot of vitamins. Maybe I’m doing more harm than good? But that is the only thing I can get down him.

    Help, Can’t get rid of mites off of Rooster

I see very few mites in the tub when I clean it out so it’s not like our house is crawling with mites...lol. I’ve already sprayed down the area in the barn where he stays, sprinkled First Saturday...

    Help, Can’t get rid of mites off of Rooster

    I have a Frizzle Polish Roo that had a bad mite infestation. I’ve tried everything that I can think of to rid them from him but after almost 2 weeks he still has them. Not as bad so I’m obviously killing some but I can’t believe I can’t get rid of these things! He was very weak and mostly likely...
