What is the youngest that one can worm a chicken? I have an americauna which came from the feed store and has had runny poo since I brought her home and a few other of my chickens have it also. I am guessing that worming might help. I do have the same problem I had in the first of the year with...

I have a bantam Cochin roo who was getting his feathers pecked by my RIR, (RIP), and his foot got so infected that he now has a tumor on his foot. I took him to the vet thinking it was bumble foot, but no, that would be too easy to fix. He has a tumor that short of amputation there is nothing...

My chickens have little white things in their poo. I am guessing they are worms. I believe they are worms because I have seen them move. They are the size of a 1/4 piece of rice. The laying production is way down, & some of the hens are sneezing and coughing. I don't find the white things in...
