    WORMS? Other Infection? Need advice.

    A little over a month ago I wormed my chickens with Valbazen at 1/2cc per hen, and repeated 10 days later with the same dosage. The reason we wormed was because they had been losing weight, their keel bone is pronounced and one hen had diarrhea and a messy bottom. This hen had dark water...

    Chickens losing weight like crazy! Feather loss, mushy crops at night, diarrhea in some.

    No,it looks like there were never feathers to begin, just smooth skin with which makes me think nutrient deficiency since they are so thin. I didn't notice the feather loss until they were soaked from the rain. Some of them are ameraucanas so their beards covered it up until they were wet.

    I have 4- 4 month olds, 1 6 month old, and 7- 10 month olds, the 10 months olds are the ones laying, losing feathers, ect.

    Will the crop by mushy if I am feeding them soaked food?

    Chickens losing weight like crazy! Feather loss, mushy crops at night, diarrhea in some.

    I bought %20 game bird feed, the highest they had. I went out last night, checked their crops and most of them were mushy (12 hens). I was concerned about sour crop, so I researched and planed on going out to get the monistat to treat today. I went out this morning and it feels as though all...

    Thank you! I'm going to go to our feed store tomorrow morning and buy the vitamins and higher protein feed (hopefully the game bird one) if they carry it.

    Our chickens are losing weight drastically. They seem to be feeling fine, but breastbone is sticking out and they feel so skinny. I wormed them 10 days ago with Valbazen and am about to start another round of wormer. About a month ago I integrated my younger chicks and went to an all purpose...

    Is Valbazen Goat wormer the same for as Valbazen Chicken Wormer?

    I found Valbazen for goats at a feedstore near us. Is that the same for chickens also? Our chickens have runs (messy bottoms) pale wattles (not pale combs) and I'm thinking its due to the worms. I'm not sure if I want to wait for shipping on a wormer if I can get one local and treat faster...

    Late layers?

    It's so hard to wait! I was sure I had duds for layers when all of mine didn't start laying until about 9 months. They are all various breeds (Even some supposed to be early layers). All of the sudden they started laying at the same time. Now I get 6-8 eggs during the coldest time of year...

    Sick Chicken-Sneezing and runny nose

    Thanks for your suggestions. She is doing better. No runny nose or sneezing :) I think it's the ventilation in the coop. They have been next to our larger coop/run for about a week now in a look but don't touch run, so I will be integrating her and her buddy in to the large coop tomorrow...
