Hey guys! I need some help with figuring out what may have happened and what I need to do to help my hen:/ Unfortunately she has something going on with her eye and it just happened today. I don’t really know what is going on, but she seems to be active still and she isn’t showing signs of...
Hey everyone! Feel like I haven’t talked to you guys in forever! I have been super busy with literally life :barnie So far I have hatched out 4 chicks, gained 3 chickens, given away 5 and also gained a rabbit :D I wish I didn’t abandon this group chat like I did because I feel like no one will...
I have a question, I have a pretty big brooder that I use for either timeout or ER and also for babies. I have about 5 days until I have 8 chicks hatching and I was wondering if I can leave the hen with the babies or should I just go ahead and put them under a heat lamp? The first time I hatched...

Yep definitely Scaly Leg mites. I had one with severe mites on him and I spayed his legs with Nettex Scaly leg mite spray and it was gone within 5 months.
