    Not sure what I am looking at. Worms or Flies?

    Thanks for the response. I have a few questions if you dont mind. 1- Is the medicine really hard on the birds? 2- Can they eat soon after they get the meds? 3- Should i worry about eating their existing eggs? I figure hard boiling will be safe. 4- Do the segments spawn new worms/should i do...

    Not sure what I am looking at. Worms or Flies?

    Here are the poop pics. You can see one small white spot on each and it was moving slightly. I looked up the tapeworm pics and think you may be right.

    Not sure what I am looking at. Worms or Flies?

    I have noticed on a couple of occasions brown poop that is white on the outside. I didnt see it drop, so i am not certain how old it is, but it was dropped within 45 minutes. On the outside of the poop there are some very small white things that look like larvae. They are maybe 1/16" in...

    Bobcat or Hawk?

    It was a bobcat. We found it with our bird in a ditch several hours later. Dark cloud over our home today.

    Bobcat or Hawk?

    I was thinking a coyote would make more of a mess or leave some tracks

    Help with medicine

    Not a bad idea. The vet said to not eat the eggs. I was wondering if second hand antibiotics would hurt me or if there is another reason.

    Help with medicine

    The dried worms wouldnt be tough on her? She doesnt have an appetite right now, but i think its due to stress. She is drinking, alert and not squirting, which is good.

    Anyone with experience feeding brewers mash?

    I brew beer at home and always have left over grain bags. I am not sure how nutritional it is after it has been boiled and you would need to know exactly whats in it as the grains may vary widely. Commercial brewers also use lots of preservatives and accelerants. Barring that freezing it for...

    Pawhut Coops - good or bad?

    Bad. I had a smaller one purchased from amazon. While the vents and run were covered in hardware cloth the grade of wood is pretty terrible. Additionally, it said it could hold 4-5 birds and 3 were filling it up before they were fully grown. I sold it and built one from scratch. Check...
