@StellaBeann Also as a sidenote, about deworming... Treating with smeared paste on treats was not enjoyable and time consuming or downright ineffective considering the suspicious stink eyes I'd get from my little flock of 3 (now 8). With our recent roundworm deworming treatment, we decided to...

Sorry to hear your hen is dealing with this! I don't have much of an answer, aside from using the corid and dewormer appropriately. My hen that had this is apparently a frequent flyer with this stuff (and worms in general - since I just had a bout of roundworms with her), and aside from that she...

Thanks @coach723! Dosage was correctly calculated and I have been treating the whole flock, so I'm good on that. So last night was the last first round dosage, now I wait 10 days for second dosage for potential eggs?

Found roundworms in my 2 year old hen's poop Tuesday am (figured out it was her by checking who was roosting where through the night). I treated the whole flock with Safeguard equine paste Tues pm, Weds pm and Thurs pm. She has passed a worm nearly each night, and last night she passed 2. They...

Been a busy bee but I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their summer! Quick question... Place I work at has some roosters from a straight run that desperately need processed (they're harassing hens and not keepers), wondering if there's anyone/place around here (Lehigh Valley) that would...

Thank you for being so thorough. My fiancée is debating culling her. I need to think things over.

I just got home with the Rooster Booster purchased. Should she be separated? At this point, my flock has most likely already been exposed, I'm coming to terms with that. Other than close monitoring, what would be the point of separation? Doing the buddy system quarantine doesn't work too well...

Thank you. Nutri-drench is what I had on hand last night. I am at TSC right now and they only have Rooster Booster Vitamins & Electrolytes w/Lacto Bacillus and Durvet Vitamins & Electrolytes.

Thank you for your response. I was really hoping it wasn't the big scary M word... We are up on a hill above a valley with plenty of wind, birds and an unfortunate frustrating battle with rat(s) for the past few weeks... I have her along with 4 chick-mates in a coop sectioned off in my mature...

Prada, my 3 month old CCL, is struggling to walk, and I'm not quite sure if it's a slipped tendon, sprain or something else... X-posted this to the FB forum last night with not much response, hoping to have better luck here... She was on chick starter when I got her in April until I moved them...

:lol: No, they're at my work and we don't mind as long as they're not destroying stuff.

Rat is still around. I'm going to hardware cloth apron the entire underside of the sheed/coop when I get the chance. For now I'll keep up my new nighttime routine of removing chick's feeder from outside and securing the big coop's "summer door". On another note... Any animal track...

Well, I guess it's time to setup a trap for this bugger. I refuse to use poison around my coop/property, and it's not present in the daytime since the first day I chased it around so I can't sit and wait to target it. So do you think I could just set the trap up at the end of the hole with some...

Aw thank you! :hugs 3rd is an Olive Egger, 4th is a Crested Cream Legbar. I'm excited about our new additions! :ya

That's my silver welbar, Cricket! :) When I first got her she'd make cricket chirping sounds when she slept :love
