Thanks. Yes, you are correct. They do and are being treated. Nasty mites have taken over my whole flock of 100+ birds, so it's a time consuming challenge, as I'm currently living a mile away while we build on site.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. Off to the hatchery we go for some hens, then!

These are 3 Easter Eggers I bought as day olds in Sep, now 7 months old. I bought 5 but 2 didn't make it. I'm thinking they are all roosters, but I'm not familiar with how EE are supposed to look. Should I be looking for some EE hens to keep my kids happy... They're super excited for colourful eggs.

Thanks Lilith37, we are using a regenerative aloe gel on the wound. Unfortunately the chicken coop is currently a mile away from where I'm staying (we recently had a lot of flood damage) and the chick is living in my bedroom as my cat would love to make a meal of it. It does get lonely but...

We've got a nice little flock of 20 mixed breed chickens that have the same father and 2 different mothers, the older brood is now a year old and been doing very well. Started laying at about 24 weeks. The younger brood just recently started laying about 6 - 8 weeks ago and I seem to have 3-4...

Hi! I'm Ruth, from South Africa... 🌈 I've recently (May '22) purchased some land on which to build a homestead and it came with chickens. 5 of them...1 too and 4 older hens most likely majority RIR genetics. 2 hens have died since. 1 managed to raise 15 chicks before she croaked (she choked on a...
