    Treating Tapeworms - Under Construction

    Thanks, Mary! I understand that those medications aren’t approved for poultry, but I do feel comfortable using them based on years of evidence of safety. I wish I had access to a vet that would provide a prescription for an approved med! (And I wish that there were more options for poultry)...

    Treating Tapeworms - Under Construction

    Thank you so much for the response @casportpony! One last question- I do sell the their eggs to my neighbors, what is the very safe egg withdrawal time?

    Treating Tapeworms - Under Construction

    Hi! I know this is an old thread, but I am hoping someone can give me advice. I got a fecal test done for both my chickens and ducks and they came back positive for tapeworm (and I saw tapeworm in my duck’s pool). I already treated the chickens with Equimax paste, but am wondering if the...

    Help with deworming ducks (tapeworm)

    Hi all, There is so much great information about deworming chickens on this site, but I am having trouble with finding information on ducks. Specifically an oral application, not in-water dosing. I recently sent in fecal samples for both my chickens and ducks and both came back positive for...

    New chicken bullying old flock

    Ah, I was looking into the pinless peepers… I’ll have to order some. How long do they generally need to wear them? We have her separated right now, so we’ll continue with that plan! Thank you!

    New chicken bullying old flock

    Unfortunately the roosting area we have for them now is just temporary, so she’ll need to eventually be able to roost with them. It is so tough dealing with the rude gals, I’m sorry you’ve had to as well.

    New chicken bullying old flock

    I’m so glad your rescue eventually found her place in your flock. A glimmer of hope! We’ll just take things really slow and hopefully she improves.

    New chicken bullying old flock

    Thank you for your thoughtful response. We definitely don’t want to put our flock in danger, and I agree that a mean hen isn’t really worth it. However, we took these ladies as a favor to a family member who could no longer care for them and she would be heart broken if we got rid of her. It’s a...

    New chicken bullying old flock

    Hi all, We recently added 4 adult chickens to our existing flock of 5- we had them in a fenced off part of the yard for 3 weeks, and have let them mingle in the 1/4 acre yard the last week. The two flocks are mostly just ignoring one another, but one of the new hens (a blue laced Wyandotte) has...

    Help! Hen with stridor

    All the girls are molting right now, so their combs are paler, but I believe Goldie is an old gal (our chickens are rescues, so we don’t know ages). Everyone has pretty much stopped laying for the season. If it is indeed a virus, what would the recommended course of action be? We actually...

    Help! Hen with stridor

    Hi again, I have linked a video of Goldie, and I was able to get a chirp/sneeze in the recording. I don’t see any bubbles or swelling in either eye, and she is still acting normal. This is going on day 3. None of our other chickens are showing any symptoms, but do you think I should separate...

    Help! Hen with stridor

    Thank you so much for responding so quickly! I have heard some chirping, which I assumed was her trying to clear her airway. I just checked and her crop is actually less full than I’d expect for this time of day. Definitely does not feel impacted (thank goodness). What would you recommend...

    Help! Hen with stridor

    Hi all, I have a hen with what I believe is stridor based on some research. She has had it going on two days now. Yesterday and today I have given her olive oil soaked bread bits, but it hasn’t helped. She is acting normal otherwise and does not have any other symptoms like a runny nose. I...
