    Poopie butt

    I dewormed (using goat dewormer Fenbendazole) my girls last month... this red is the only one with a poopie butt. I'm not sure if I should deworm her again. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Is Molting worse this year?

    It's been a hard molt for a number of my ladies. They turn 2 in February. Fortunately they're getting their feathers back in quickly thanks to giving them extra protein. I'm in central Florida. Never thought to feed them sardines or tuna.

    Worms

    We did .5 ml based on the weight of our girl's. .08 x weight of your chicken = dosage

    Worms

    This is what we did, Valbazen. Dose is 0.08ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days.

    Worms

    Yesterday I treated my ladies for worms. I had seen a similar worm (shown above) the day before. I used Valbazen since I have few that are molting. This picture was taken today. I'm pretty sure that the Valbazen will work on this type of worm, but I'd like to hear from others that have more...

    Cockerel with balance issue

    Unfortunately we had to put him down. 😔 Based on what we could tell he had ataxia.

    Rhode Island Red wings

    I can't say she stands like that all the time. I'm in Central Florida. Yes, it's been hot. I have 3 waterers. They're not in direct sunlight.

    That makes sense. She is my wanderer... all over the place.

    Rhode Island Red wings

    I have 5 RIR. One looks like her wings are not tight to her body. I don't know if this is normal. Mind you she is the only one in the flock that will fly and she gets up high. I've considered clipping her wings so she doesn't get out of the yard. See pictures below. Thank you for any advice.

    How often do you deworm?

    What is considered frequently? Once a month, once every 3 months... ? I live in Central Florida. Plenty of rain in the afternoons. My girls free range. Most of the area is shaded.

    Silkie Rooster?

    I have 2 silkies. I got them both in February. The other silkie doesn't have a comb or wattle. I'm thinking this one is a rooster?
