one of my does has crusty stuff inside her ears. i didnt see anything crawling around in there but what could this be? is this commom? what should i do?
 
It's probably ear mites. Just put some olive oil or vegetable oil in her ears every week with a dropper (and rub it on the inside part of her ears too) for about 3 weeks. Ear mites aren't too bad ;)
 
thanks so much guys. everyone here has been so helpful since i started this not knowing everything. thanks
 
If you have chickens that range where the rabbits are, the ear mites may come back. A monthly check, look in the rabbits ears, then a few drops in each ear as a preventative measure. If you find ear mites, then treat daily.

Not a one of us was born knowing much of anything. Somebody had to teach us. What good is it if you know lots of stuff and keep it all to yourself? We are delighted to help you, no matter what the question is, so don't ever feel embarrassed because you don't know. I'm still learning.
