thanks for the info - I'm taking the positive approach that wormer use caused the worms to be expelled I've read the pro/con arguments of using DE - some people swear by it while others point out that it can't work when wet (inside a chicken) but I'm adding it to feed pellets anyway - it's...

the chickens are about 5 months old now the red worm looked like a long roundworm but reddish, if an earthworm then a very skinny one last week I saw regular white roundworms in poo, I'd guess 2-3" long but haven't seen any since Verm-X treatment but if roundworms can be pinkish - then maybe...

I've had my 2 pullets for only 2 weeks - came from a hatchery. I mix DE in feed pellets. Less than a week after arrival, I found roundworms in poo. Can they pick up worms that quickly from yard? Anyway, I used Verm-X, a natural wormer, for 3 days per directions. Haven't seen white worms in poo...

I wrote in a short time ago about my 2 to 21/2 year old hen going blind in one eye - without any noticeable symptoms. No respiratory problems, no watery eye, no gunk...I purchased eye medicine from First State Vet Supply and was able to administer fewer doses than stated on box - yet after 2...

I purchased my eglu a few years ago so price wasn't as high. It was easy to assemble - I did it myself on a sultry summer afternoon and I have NO DIY skills. It's not perfect but it works better than the previous henspa and previous chick-n-hut. The plastic is easy to clean and no crevices for...

I wanted to follow up...the medicine I got from First State Vet Supply is Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Dexamethasone Opthalmic Suspension. The directions state 1 drop 4 times first day, 3 drops 2nd day, etc. Well, I was lucky to get in 1 drop twice the first day, 1 drop the 2nd day...

I have a hen who's been losing the sight in her "good eye" since May. I got her last year from a friend's free range flock at 1 to 1 1/2 years old and she was blind in one eye - opaque. No problem since her good eye vision was very sharp. Have no idea what's wrong - no gunk, no respiratory...

I have a hen who is blind in one eye - white opaque look to it. got her when she was year or so old so don't know what caused blindness. vision in good eye was very sharp...until about a month ago. eye looks normal, no swelling, no oozing or anything. but she now has to hit-and-miss to feed off...

I put a litter box with sand & a bit of dirt in their pen and it's got lots of DE sprinkled in. I've seen them perched on the rim & they've walked through it (footprints) but I don't know if they're using it.

being new to chickens...I was slow to recognize mites until major infestation. and it's possible that I've got 2 types to contend with: red mites and northern fowl mites. I've blasted the wooden hutch with sprays and powders and no longer see little reds running around. My 2 chickens have been...

I have a chicken who has started laying thin shelled and no shelled eggs. It started late last fall after she finished her first moult. She has access to layer pellets, fresh water, grit, and oyster shell. She is not listless, does not cough, her comb is deep red, so don't think it's a...
