    Yep, that's it! I can now knock that "class" off my continuing education - thank you so very much :-)

    Tape Worms

    Well she is just a young bird, so I think her "grown up" feathers are coming in.

    Tape Worms

    @Eggcessive, thank you so much for your kind reply. After watching your video, I agree with you. These things were not moving at all and I came upon it right after she let it out, since I was concerned about her being up in the coop in the middle of the day. I'm afraid I am turning into a bit...

    Tape Worms

    Hello all and thank you for your help with my previous posts regarding my sick Cream Legbar. As suggested by @Eggcessive and @EggSighted4Life I did treat my girl with Corid for coccidiosis, and she does seem to be much improved, she is actually opening her eyes today and moving around somewhat...

    Lethargic Cream Legbar

    She will eat a little if I hold the little bowl I have been using up to her beak. I have been doing this every couple of hours, this is the second day. This might sound crazy, but I don't think she can find her own water and food in her coop because she will not open her eyes! She just walks...

    Lethargic Cream Legbar

    Thank you. I will do as you suggest and check her crop in the morning. If I can find some of her poop, I will try harder to find a vet to test it. Thank you so much!

    Lethargic Cream Legbar

    Thank you for your reply. I have 5 other hens that I got from a feed store and they are all healthy and fine. This little gal I got from a man that worked at the feed store, I went to his home to get her and the conditions there were not what I would call ideal. Lots of hens running around in...

    Lethargic Cream Legbar

    My (about) 14 week old Cream Legbar has been very lethargic and won't open her eyes for over a week now. She spends a great deal of time sleeping and is not eating or drinking on her own (as far as I can tell). A previous post about this brought about the suggestion of treating her with Corid...

    Cream Legbar Lethargic, White around ears (?)

    Never mind about the ear, I think you are right, that may just be her normal coloring. I went back and looked at another picture of her, from when I first got her, and the white is there, I just didn't really notice it before. Her food is Purina Premium Poultry Feed Start & Grow...

    Cream Legbar Lethargic, White around ears (?)

    Hello - My Cream Legbar has been acting very lethargic for the last 4 -5 days. She is about 12 weeks old. I did remove her from my main coop where I have 5 other hens that are all doing well. She has been walking around with at least one eye closed most of the time, and sometimes both, and...

    What is this and how do I get rid of it???? (Worms??)

    Dawg - I have read several of your posts on these boards and you sure do seem knowledgeable on this topic, which is great! I hope you don't mind a question or two - I'm a new chicken mom and I want to do a good job. At least one of my chickens has roundworms, and I have ordered a bottle of...
