    Last of a Legacy - what is the right thing to do?

    After 18 years of joyfully raising poultry, I am simplifying for retirement and am now down to my sole aged hen. What is the right thing to do - I cannot rehome her -she is being treated for scaly leg mite and have concerns if the stress of rehoming would be detrimental? I am in the coop daily...

    TRYING VERY HARD TO SAVE AUNT BEA - Very Sick With Roundworms? Ivermectin, penicillin, banamine Now

    Kathy, I have seen no more worms pass post ivermectin. She is not pooping and in fact is very interested in eating any poops in the cag. She is eating amash yogurt corn slurry and drinking a bit. Still perched on the cage floor, eyes bright but close soon after a minute or two. She can hold...

    Ok. She can for short periods. With stimulation she has no problem. When resting her head drops. There is some tail twitching as if trying to poop but no poop.

    PS re banamine: Too much will kill poultry. I used about 1/4 of .1cc. That's a tiny amount and I saw it helped her comfort very quickly. She began drinking and eating soon after for at least a little while

    I used 3 drops of : Ivermectin pour on for cattle 5 mg/ ml. I placed it on her neck skin. Again I worry about the volume to pass all at once if she is impacted. Thank you very much for your help here.

    Safeguard paste for horses? When should I use it now that she has ivermectin topically? I am worried about a big worm load trying to pass thru her gut. The ban amine relaxes smooth muscles so things can move plus kills pain. Chicken in my kitchen - nice and warm

    Chicken Eating Its Own Poop ?????

    I isolated this hen due to worms and she is eating her own poop. She was debeaked, sadly. Obviously she tries to eat everything since its so hard for her to peck at food. Any ideas?
