So I decided to do it and used the safeguard paste on each, I have to do it again in 10 days but I found these in the stool. Is it a worm? What kind? Should I do another treatment or will this be sufficient? @U_Stormcrow @dawg53 @Wyorp Rock @SeaCity @theoldchick
Hello,
I have a healthy flock of 10 chickens that free range for half the day every day, we are located in central Florida where it’s hot and humid. Is a deworming routine necessary? I kept reading that maybe twice a year it should be done but I’m not sure if it’s necessary if I don’t see...
Her crop is soft, seems like she can’t eat much today but I know it was full yesterday and the day before. She did not appear in shock, I had another one who was in shock for 2 days and is finally feeling better. No other injuries that I have found and have checked her throughly. When I massage...
Hello! My black copper maran got attacked by my dog the other day and lost some skin and feathers in her back but she’s been healing and feeling well, she’s the top hen and has kept her good attitude and ate and acted fine for the last 2 days since she got attacked but today I noticed her...

Ok I can do soaks and I’m doing the prid drawing salve right now but I’m not sure what it means for it to be working or not. So I should try to get those little scabs off?
@Chicken poppy
Here’s photos of what the others look like, my question is - how is it treated at this stage? Small scab, no inflammation or sign of redness or hot to the touch.
I don’t want to start messing with the scabs if it’s not necessary. Everywhere I read always talks about getting the kernel or scab...
So I read all that and I’m using prids drawing salve, it doesn’t look like there’s going to be a big kernel underneath, should I still try to get that scab off? Or with soaking, antibiotic ointment and wrapping it would it help it heal on its own? I have like 6 birds with a small scab but no...
Is this bumble foot? If so, what stage and what am I supposed to do to treat it at this stage? How would I know it’s improving or is it supposed to grow first before it gets better? Just noticed it today for the first time. She’s walking and acting fine. She was in chicken jail for 24 hours for...
