It was Fenbendazole (brand names Panacur® and Safe-Guard®) that I used, at a strength of 1ml per 4lb bird or 0.25ml/lb.
And my one girl had them pretty badly. So I'm assuming the others had them as badly.

Hey everyone,
So I have three chickens acting strange.
I have done a complete look over, and nothing sticks out, not egg bound, no vent issues, crop is empty on two of them, they just either sit in one place or walk around with their eyes closed, no canker signs, no upper respiratory signs, no...
Sad Update...
The smaller duck did not make it. She passed away last night around 11pm...
Now I need help keeping the rest of these three alive! Please!
I'm wondering if they don't have like an upper respiratory due to one of them breathing a bit heavy.
I put together a compilation of...
Sigh...
The girl I got them from told me to only feed layer feed because duck starter has stuff in it that causes angel wing and her ducks always die when she feeds them duck starter...

Thank you for your help. They are so close to laying. Some of them just started going down into Rooster Pose when I come close so I know it'll be any day now. When my midnight Majesty laid her first egg I was so excited just because of how dark the egg was.
Do you think this one is a Starlight...
I ordered a colored layers assortment from hoovers Hatchery.
I ended up with 5 cinnamon colored and 5 black.
I'm pretty sure all of the cinnamon colored ones are starlight green eggers.
Then one of the black/grey chickens has a little Mohawk so I'm pretty sure she is a Sapphire Olive Egger...
I have two pullets like this that I have no idea what they are.
They are smaller then my other pullets from this batch, completely black in color, but it the sun their feathers have a blueish purple shine to them. Feet have no feathers and are more of a yellow color.
They came from hoovers...
Hey,

Onyx - Black Silkie | Rooster - Est. Hatch Day: May 1st, 2024
Topaz - Chocolate Silkie Hen - Est. Hatch Date: May 2024
Opal - White Silkie Hen - Est. Hatch Date: May 2024 _ Laying - started 10/21/24

Agreed. I literally have a bad bird box in my large coop. It's a large dog crate that sits on the floor of the coop.
I also have a rooster purse that I have used when even a hen decides to be a peckerhead.
