so I bought this 5% permethrin spray today at Rural King. It is designated for clothing and found in the camping section. Says do not use on skin. I am hoping it is safe to use for scaly leg mites on one girl, and general bugs on a broody. Anyone have any experience with this? Seems less messy...
Please advise. My girl has one nostril that runs a bit. It gets clogged over when she feeds. I rinsed it out with saline twice and one time a piece of straw came out. It doesn't look bad, it's clear. She is not sneezing or coughing, lays eggs is energetic,and acts normal. Baffled and really...
Back story. 7 month old blue splash Amerauca. Was laying about every other day. Escaped about 10 days ago and a neighbor had to get her out of the road and put her back on my property. She laid a normal egg late that night about 10 days ago. Then no eggs or nesting till today. Then she laid a...
I just brought home 3 new girls about 5 months old. I’ve had them about 2 weeks now. When I first got them they were eating their feed great. Combo layer and starter. It got very cold so I was feeding them lots of energy food like scratch and boss. Now they won’t eat their feed. It’s like they...
Hi all!
Just wanted a little feedback. I have a 5 year old coop I bought as a prefab . I was my first coop and currently houses my 2 Polish hens. It's looking a little worse for the wear. My question is...to continue to calk, paint and tweak, or just buy a new one? I have a friend that is...
Already started Corid in the water because I'm a worry wart. Does this look normal or like cocid? shed lining? 3 new birds and with all this rain I want them to be healthy. Different food I am assuming and new environment.. Birds are 4- 5 months old. Thanks!
:yaMy 5 year old Plymouth Barred Rock has been laying an egg almost every day this spring! This is a girl that laid a lash egg a couple years ago(gave antibiotics) and has been down a couple times with mystery illnesses over the years. I think my Buff Orp might have snuck one in but all the...
My approx. 3 year old speckled Sussex hen was found dead in the pen yesterday morning. She was dead for awhile because she was already stiff as a board and cold. Where she had been in the coop the night before there was a large amount of thickish white loose liquidy poop. just before night time...
Should I be worried about my Barred rock hen? She is about 3 years old. I have noticed that even in cool weather (or warm) when all the girls are congregating and sitting around together in the afternoons, she has a distinctive rock from head to tail. It almost looks like just her hind end is...

I am a new member but have been reading on the page for awhile. I have my heart set on buying couple of Ameraucana pullets or young hens. Can anyone offer some for sale or know where I can find them? I have emailed some breeders from the AbC web page but no success so far. I can't have...
