Night time when they are on the roost they will be sleepy and calm. I will take a head lamp and go into the coop and just pick up each bird, then put them back after doing what needs to be done.My girls won't let me feed them.

http://www.jefferspet.com/safe-guard-dewormer-for-goats/camid/LIV/cp/I6-SK/My rooster in stretching his neck out and opening his mouth REALLY wide. Today he started shaking his head also.. His nose and eyes are fine. He isn't wheezing or sneezing. He DOES look like he is loosing weight. I noticed that today. It reminds me of how my first rooster looked when he got sick. They gave me Tetracycline and he died. Today the Agway chicken girl gave me...tetracycline. I'm not giving it to him. I started some pumpkin and his water already has apple cider vinegar in it. I just read that you can use Safe Guard 10% solution for goats for him since the med I need is no longer available in the USA. The UK won't ship it here either. What do you think??
Saeguard if fine for *all* birds.Hello,
Flubenvet is the medicine that isn't available in the USA anymore. Are you saying that the Safe Guard is not ok for my chickens??? Please let me know. Thanks!
