5lbs is her weight.
I only saw them once and then they were gone. I cleaned the poop off, and there were no wounds at all around her vent anywhere. If I see the larvae again, I will take photos, but so far I haven't see them again.

I used strongdid, but I calculated the math out and only gave .1ml of the paste to each hen using a needle less syringe.
I think I am dealing with round worms, but I have yet to see an actually worm, just a few larvae that looked to have just hatched in her poop that was...
Thank you so much! Because of cost as well as what is available to me today (my tractor supply has like no options unfortunately), I am going to use the equine pyrantel pamoate because I am fairly confident I have a round or tape worm issue. I plan on giving it orally and tossing the eggs. Do...
I am not exactly sure when her last egg was, however I do know that of my flock, she has been the least consistent over the past year. Her poop is just liquid, no solid form to it at all. She has access to a little bit of grit, however I will make sure to add more grit to their feed. I have...
Hello everyone!
I have a hen who is 4 years old. Over the past year, she has had spouts of not feeling well, but once I softened my flock's feed with water, she would eat it and be totally normal the next day, and continue to be normal. I think because I don't free range, and only let them out...
Update:
My little Cloudy is back to normal! I realized that she wasn’t eating any food as well, so I made mash using water with their pellet food to get her to eat and after two days of that, she is back to her perky self! I still don’t know what the root of the issue was, but as long as she is...
She is 4 years old and she is one of my best egg layers. She and my other two hens did take a laying break this winter because they decided to molt when we had below zero temperatures. This past month she had started up again with 1 egg every 2-3 days.
I opened up the egg and there was no yolk...
Hello everyone!
My favorite hen, Cloudy, has been acting abnormally lately. I have absolutely no clue what could be the issue, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Here are the symptoms:
-Not acting as perky, but still half-heartedly pecking outside and eating treats.
-Crop not full and...
She has not had a bad day in a while now!!! I still would like to put some more weight on her, but I think it will come back this spring when I let them outside to look for bugs. Thanks for all you help!! I appreciate it!
Thank you so much for this!!! She is doing much better and while I am still working on putting weight on her, she hasn't had a lethargic day in a while! She is actually right now one of my perkiest hens even amidst the freezing -10-degree weather we had this past week.
After losing one of my...
That is a wonderful idea! She is on of my favorite hens and will follow me around when she is not having a limping episode, so I think I will try that. Thank you so much!!!
