    Intestinal shedding, worm, or other?

    This morning, I found 3-4 odd looking poops where the chickens roost. My first thought was worms, specifically large roundworm because of the size of the 'worms' in the poop. I added Wazine 17 to the waters for all birds but now realize the 'worms' may just be intestinal shedding. Based on the...

    1/2 Sized Sick Baby

    I wanted to take a moment to say 'thank you!' to everyone that has chimed in to help. I really appreciate you taking the time. I wouldn't say things are better yet but I'm hoping they will be soon. I am still on the hunt for a better feed for the turkeys. I have given them a few boiled eggs in...

Steers will go...
