    Rooster isn’t responding to treatments

    Yes, the little black bugs looked like these you have pictured. I also saw tiny brown mites in the same area. Since posting this thread I have done two permethrin treatments on my entire flock, each one 10 days apart, including cleaning out the coop both times and applying permethrin to the...

    Rooster isn’t responding to treatments

    We have a 7 year old giant white Cochin rooster named Hank. For about 12 months we have been struggling with him over-grooming and pulling out his feathers. A few of the hens had started pecking on him, especially on his feet and the tops of his wings. We initially thought the damage to the...

    Hens are dying right after mating

    I have a large flock of 16 hens with one Giant White Cochin rooster. He is easily twice the size of most of our hens, but is never rough or mean to any of them. He is not aggressive and does not tear out their feathers or cause them any damage during mating. But he's killed two of our smaller...
