    Little white worms in poop

    Oops, yeah, I'm using Equimax! I need to pic up another small syringe for the Equimax, I only have fatter ones that can't measure a low enough dose. I'll pick up some Permethrin soon. Last time I checked, they had pre-diluted and undiluted. Only one of them said it was okay to use around...

    Little white worms in poop

    My flock has tapeworms again, after another uncharacteristically rainy period in my region. This sucks, that's twice in one year. I hope this isn't a regular event that follows every heavy rain. This is ridiculous! I still have the ivermectin from last time, and the experience. Here we go again!

    Little white worms in poop

    I'm still dealing with this. Here's the routine: I have been taking a few of the girls out at a time and wating to see who has tapeworms in their poop. Whole flock is rotated out, four hens at a time, other than the girls I have in a partitioned section of the run. One hen will have tapeworms...

    Little white worms in poop

    I'll check on behavior and find out who is acting strangely. I don't know if it's more than one bird, but if it's only one I have a good idea of who it is. I guess I can partition the run and keep her alone but visible to the others. Thanks again!

    Daaaaaang you're fast and thorough with your reply! Thank you very much! I would like to use the dewormer on all of the hens. Should I stop eating their eggs for awhile?

    Little white worms in poop

    Hello BYC! I didn't have my phone when I went in and found the parasites. It was a perfect Kodak moment, but by the time I returned, the girls had walked all over the wormy poo. What kind of worms are these, and what is my best course of action? They look like tape worm segments to me...

    DIY Thread - Let's see your "Inventions".

    My pullets have been jumping on top of my feeders and rocking out food. They solved the waste-free design, so I put a dog cone on each. The handle broke off on this one awhile ago, and my partner rigged up a sturdier solution with coated cable and those cable clamp things. Now the weight...

    Corrugated panel roofing question

    Here you go! If you care about the messy look, you could always cut the gloops with a razor blade after it's dry and cured.

    Spiders and mosquitoes in run/coop come nightfall

    I just came out from my coop, after crushing 9, blood-fattened mosquitos. Freaking gross; I can't believe there were that many! We dump all standing water in our yard, except for a pond and an aquaponics basin. Those both have mosquito fish to chomp down the larva. It would seem my neighbors...

    TSC bedding poisoned chicks

    I get that, and I read through that thread too. I was pretty worried when I made my post. I'm adding my anecdote to the pile of anecdotes. I worried for nothing.

    TSC bedding poisoned chicks

    Reporting back: Zero chick deaths. All of my hens and chicks are absolutely fine.

    My mom once told me...

    The sun wasn't cooperating with my photo angles this morning. I'd have tried harder if I posted specifically for gender ID. I don't mean to make more work for people here! At 6 weeks, the difference between pullet and cockerel is dramatic. He weighs at least half more than any of the other...

    My mom once told me...

    I'm not trying to sneak an "Identify my genders" post in the wrong thread, I just wanted to share my experience :)

    My mom once told me...

    Sure! Suspect roo is perched on the plywood: Another shot of suspected roo: This one is a pullet, methinks: Attempted overhead shot of three suspected pullets. Roo's rump under the pallet: I tried for a better comb shot here: Suspect roo is standing up tall in the back. Another pullet...

    My mom once told me...

    I was once looking around a creekbed with my mom, and I came across a sharp piece of worked stone. I brought it to Mom, and said "I think I found an arrowhead!" She gave me a big smile and said "When people don't find an arrowhead, they ask if it's an arrowhead. When you find one, you know it."...
