Okay, I will wash his bottom. I’ve never saw worms in his poo that I’m aware of. I’ve been trying to look at everyone’s poops when I’m down there. I will get some of that stuff for his legs. Thanks.

Well I only had to give him the ivermectin because it had been 2 weeks since his vet appointment & his first dose. The next dose will be in another 2 weeks. The vet told us to do that for treatment of scaly leg mites. How much buttermilk mixed with the rice? Like a soupy consistency? Or just...

So I’ve been dosing him with the safeguard liquid dewormer, he’s had it for 2 days now, I gave him his oral ivermectin last night like the vet told me to, and he still is acting very weak. How long would it take for him to show some improvement? I’m just wondering if something else may be going...

Okay, so I haven’t ordered the Valbazen yet. They seemed to eat the pellets pretty good. But I’m concerned about my rooster. He seems weak and his comb is pale. So I was going to go ahead and get some safeguard wormer from tsc. Since I can get that quicker. Will that cover most of the common...

Yes I’m about positive it’s not gapeworm. I haven’t noticed any breathing problems. The safeguard liquid sounds easy enough. And my tractor supply has that in stock, so I wouldn’t have to wait on shipping. How do you go about weighing your chickens to get the right dose? Haha most of mine I...

So I took 3 of my chickens to the vet the other day, one we are treating for bumble foot currently. But he done a fecal on them and said they had a few different types of worms. I didn’t ask specifics, I should have. He advised for us to treat with safeguard pellets for a week as their only...

Thank you for the reply! I haven’t noticed any other foot problems or cuts or anything like that. He did have lice so we treated for that last night. He is probably about 4-5 years old maybe.

So I’m worried about my rooster. He is having a hard time getting around. He’s kind of wobbly when he walks sometimes. He keeps his wings down for balance. And he isn’t getting on the roost. Sometimes he just lays down out in the yard to peck and eat. I’ve included a pic of him and his feet...

Okay, so I had a sick chicken, finally found a Vet that treats chickens. Took her to the vet this morning she has Coccidiosis and possibly a bacterial infection. So I was given the sulfamethazine to treat(2 tablespoons to a gallon of water), she’s been drinking a bit of water but not a whole...

Okay so does anyone have suggestions on how to get a good fecal sample? If she’s pooping like this, how can I get the best sample to take to the vet? In her cage she’s had some more solid stuff mixed in with the white water poops. Should I take both kinds in? I’m just trying to figure out the...

Can any vet test that way? Or do I need to find a vet that treats chickens? I actually plan on trying to find a chicken vet to take her to anyways. But if I can’t will any vet do the fecal? I feel so bad for her. I went to the feed store and looked for that stuff but the only thing they had...

Can any vet check her poop? Or do i need to find an avian specific vet? Also, if it’s the salmonella is that treatable? Thank you both for your responses!

So I have a hen and I’m not sure what’s going on with her. I’ve tried doing all sorts of research but I just feel like I’m going in circles. I’ve brought her into the basement in a dog kennel by herself. She’s had a floppy pale comb for the past few days, she has a messy bottom, she is kind of...

Okay so I acquired some new hens. I have one that I'm not too sure what's going on with her bottom. I took some pics, but it was hard to wrangle her to stand still by myself. And it was at night while she was on the roost. So she kept turning around right when I would take a pic. She's had...

Oh yes I have figured it out that they look like so many different breeds!! Haha! I'm like wait you look like these, no wait, now these. It's so confusing. I just want some healthy hens. I plan on ordering a small batch in a couple of months. Just to add some variety to my flock. I am hoping...

I hope mine aren't red Rangers. I've read they don't live long. As I don't wanna raise them to eat. I just like to have chickens, as pets and for egg laying. Mainly just to have though.

As long as they are friendly and all turn out to be hens I really don't mind what they are. Haha. I just wanted pullets. I don't mind at least one rooster. But I keep mine in a fenced in run, so one rooster is all I can handle. I already have two red sex links. I guess I'll just have some more...

According to the lady at tsc they use 5 different hatcheries. But this shipment came from Hoover Hatchery & Mt Healthy Hatchery. Both in OH I believe she said.

I'll call and ask in a bit. Here are some more pics. I just went and took these. They had a bin of the Red Sex Links also. I just got the columbian ones because I hadn't heard of them and when I googled them I couldn't find much on chicks but the adult ones were pretty so I grabbed a few. So now...

So I just got a few chicks at tsc a few days ago. The bin was labeled as Columbian Rock Cross pullets. After doing some browsing I think I may have rhode island reds instead. I can't find much for pics on the rock crosses but the one week old pics I see of the rir look pretty much exactly like...
