No, it shouldn’t be too hard, you’re right. But takes 2 of us snd there’s always one available. So, we’ll get it together and do your method- by color👍🏻
We were going to use it also , for 10 hens...!? Now what? Do each hen one at a time with panacur..... what else. Can we put panacur into the water (?) 🤷🏼♀️
Hello, Has anyone everbheard of “ wormout gel? It sounds as if it can go directly into the water of a flock of chickens instead of trying to administer panacur to each one individually?
Returning member. Took a break from chickens until I rescued some. Now I’m also fostering my son’s ( the one with the worms ). I need to thank everyone for the help and information. That’s what’s good about BYC!!!
So do we leave her isolated, put her back in with the flock, wait for the 5 day treatment to be over? If i put her i. With the flock, do I need to watch out for treated worms poop
Where do we get fennendazole? The vet recommended panacur! And a digestive aid along with doses. My son took the hen and his wife spoke to her regarding meds. What do you think? I also thought all chickens should get it. The vet wouldn’t commit because she didnt examine the flock?!
We have a hen with a lump in her crop. Thought is was just impacted and attempted the throw- up technoque. This hen is eating, pooping,and generally acting normal. Vet agreed it was impacted and attempted to dislodge/ throw uo technique.
so, she got some papaya pieces, pooped a wet poo and...
I hope this is the correct place to comment on your problem. I dont have an answer, I have the same situation but with a bard rock. No symptoms, clear eyes, diarrhea but i sent a sample to the vet and it came back neg for coccidiosis. She had lost weight but I didnt nortice it because she is...
I've been reading all these suggestions regarding feeding and laying. Interesting....where does one find a place that mixes feed? I'd especially like to know what BOSS is because I see that on here a lot. I have 1 EE. one white leghorn, one Barred Rock, 2 Rhode Island Reds ans one Reich Red...
I need some investigative help. Shortening the story, my rooster was acting sick but came around but wasn't roosting on his roost but instead was sitting in the nest box because it seemed he had bad balance. Anyway, today I found litle lice - like bugs around his neck on the base of his...
Is it ok to house fancy chickens and regular layers together? Do fancy birds need anything special? I don't know which kinds I want but looking at pictures there are some very nice looking birds out there. Would I want my rooster to be able to mate with her? Sometimes the run gets muddy and...
I am having the same situation. The only exception is that I introduced 2 hens to 2 hens and a rooster. The former hens lived in a pen within the others pen so they saw each other daily. All the hens stopped laying. Is it the stress of new Ladies in the area?? The rooster doesn't play...
I agree that 3 week old chicks are too young. I always read that if chicks are still making "babY" noises that they should be kept seperated from older ones. If you can keep a watchful eye on them constantly it might work but I wouldnt try it. I have my 6 week old babies in their own pen...
I don't want to beat a dead horse on this subject but have read conflicting ideas on bedding. I started out with pet ducks and always used hay or straw. Worked well with deep laying for warmth. I added chickens and continued to use the same bedding. On this forum I read about pine shavings...
I am new to this site and, not being a facebook person, or,for that matter a computer person either, I don't know how to navigate the question page or get an answer to my question, or for that matter, I don't even know what this page is allabout.
I have had chickens off and on for years with...
GREAT idea about picking up wood from sites. My husband can't stand it when I bring home "junk" but it sure saves money. Storage is a problem though. I tend to store extra supplies right in the chicken's shed.. they don't seem to mind.
Hey! why can't I see any picturs of curtym's coop? It sound wonderful. I probably don't really want to because mine is just a hodge podge of shed,small house and lots of fencing; partially covered top, too so wild birds keep getting into my foods. Too expensive to feed wild birds. So...
