I seen my Mabel girl this afternoon laying an egg. I went out to the coop this dusk to check on my flock n she was in the same spot dead. Any tips on what to look for? I don't see any marks on her body or mites or lice. She was eating and acting pretty normal, it's just getting hot here so she...
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'm no expert, here is an article for sour crop that helped me with my girl. I treated for sour crop while treating for worms. She ended up having both. Hope it helps ...
Will a fox climb a fence to get into a run? I just moved to a new area with foxes.I need a farm dog! The bottom of the run is secure, but the run is so large it's gonna be a while before we can cover the top. The coop itself is pred proof, but I worry about them during the day. Any suggestions?

My husband cut it open when he came from work n said it was an intestine🤢 So we're thinking one of our cats got a bird, it may or may not have been eaten by a chicken after that. I need to watch for worms now! And mitesif they got a bird 🙃
I can cut it open. I threw it away in the outside garbage but it's on top n I can dig it out. It looked similar to a tapeworm except it's fat. So weird!
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.
