One of my hens started having a dirty behind lately so I cleaned her up and treated her for mites, lice and wormed her and the rest of my flock to try and solve the issue thinking usually that will fix it however this did not work. She was still acting very normal apart from having a messy...

Thank you so much. That’s super helpful. Super sad when something like this happens but i’m happy to know it shouldn’t affect my other birds. Thanks again.

So I have a hen who is a couple years old and has always been a very healthy active lady up until today. I didn’t notice any of my chickens showing signs of illness at all when I let them out this morning and gave them their food. All seemed normal. This afternoon I went down and noticed this...

Thank you! I spent all day yesterday cleaning the coop and spraying it down thoroughly with coopex. I treated all the chickens before letting them out for the day and I’ll repeat it a few times throughout the next two weeks. I haven’t tried horse bedding pellets before so I’ll get some of...

hi! I’m just wondering if any one has any advice for me. I have been struggling for months with scaly leg mites and chicken lice. I have 22 chickens currently and most of them are showing symptoms of scaly leg mites. Some worse than others but I’m well aware that if one chicken has them they’ve...

I have this little hen named Magnolia. She hatched august of 2021. She is a very small bantam and is at the bottom of the command chain in my flock. Yesterday I noticed she didn’t go up to roost but instead slept in the nesting box overnight which is very unusual for her. When I picked her up to...

I have a hen who is about 3 years old. I noticed this morning she was a little slower than normal and walking with her legs a little further apart than my other ladies. It’s subtle but it doesn’t look like her normal gate to me. She did wander to the food dish and eat her breakfast like normal...

It’s been about 4 days since I treated her with oil. I’ll do it again in a day or so and apply some Vaseline. Thank you!

Sorry the pictures aren’t great but this hen has had scaly leg mites for weeks now. I have tried afew methods to get rid of them the newest being coating Her legs in oil to suffocate them which I did a couple days ago. I have never had to treat this before. Do her legs look like they’re...

This is one of my Pekin ducks. She’s developed a limp today and is holding her foot up when she stops.when I caught her tonight I noticed she’s got quite a bit of redness in the webbing between her toes. I can see some possible bumble foot at the bottom too but I’m wondering what the redness is...

Okay. I’ll grab some supplies and get started today. Thank you for your help!

After assessing her. I definitely feel like she has an impacted crop.

I appreciate your help. I have no idea how old she is as we bought her at a poultry auction a couple years ago. She had done a little molt but doesn’t seem to have any more pin feathers coming in that I can see although her tail feathers do look a little thinned out. I do worm them regularly and...

She also free ranges all day and only comes back to the coop to sleep at night

The last few days her poop has not been normal. It’s definitely more runny than I’d like but not completely liquid if that makes sense. She sleeps in a wooden coop with one other hen. I replace her bedding weekly which is wood shavings. I feed her high quality pellets and fresh veggie scraps...

Hi all. This is poppy, one of my bantam hens and unfortunately over the last couple weeks she has started to go downhill. She was still doing normal chicken things but also sleeping a lot more. Today She’s still eating and drinking but every time she tries to get up and walk she’s just...

Thank you so much. I will get all the supplies tomorrow and hopefully get her all fixed up

Hi all. This is one of my pekin ducks. As you can see she has some pretty large bumble foot looking sores on her feet. She’s not showing any signs of lameness so I don’t know how long they’ve been there but I noticed them when she was preening herself this evening I currently have another duck...

UPDATE: it’s getting worse?! I soaked her foot in an epsom salt bath but when I assessed her toe, the scab under her toe is gone but it’s now completely closed over and it’s squishy but nothing happens when you squeeze it. I will be ringing the vets tomorrow but thought I’d see if anyone has...
