    Dealing with Mites

    Mites are evil little creatures that can drain your poor flock of the will to even be active. Mites can drink chicken blood, eat feathers, and sap energy from your birds, which is why they are so harmful to your flock. Here are some methods for finding and eradicating an infestation of mites...

    Just a quick video of a dancing, fluffy chicken feather

    This was taken a few months ago. The downy feather is from Rosemary the Head Hen. I think a Chariots of Fire soundtrack would work well with this video. Well, maybe not really. Please try to ignore my calloused fingers and rough cuticles. Lots of digging around in the dirt! Cheerios, folks...

    Hen has poor comb color and unkempt feathers

    One of my hens started having poor color in her comb and wattle (or whatever it's called) not too long ago, and I've noticed her feathers look unkempt as well. The other hens don't seem to bother her, and they let her eat just fine. They are livestock, not pets, so I don't handle them...

    All hen's feathers falling out?

    Buckbeak, my 2yo Dark Brahma hen is losing all her feathers without seeming to grow any back. She currently has a secondary Bumblefoot infection, so she's in a crate in the garage. I've gave her 5 1/2cc shots of Tylan 50, went 4 days without, and gave her 2 more shots. The last shot was...

    Feathers missing mystery

    I have a Silkie rooster who is about 15 weeks old and is missing feathers on the back of his neck. I did look for mites and lice, but I don't see any. He has parts of a feathers, meaning he is not totally bare. One of the hens is starting to look like him, too. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hens with poop stuck to their bums that seems to cause feather loss

    All four of my hens have poop stuck to them. This is either causing feather loss or the poo is just weighing the feathers down. I can clearly see most of their cloacas because of the feather issues. They seem healthy and happy otherwise though. Can anybody help?
