    Should i continue corid?

    @eggcessshe just laid a lash egg and is still puffed up and lethargic so I would like to try antibiotics. The vet is out for the holiday so all I have on hand is doxy-tyl powder. I know generally you mix with water but she won't drink it. Do you happen to know if there's a way to dose it out so...

    Should i continue corid?

    I have a hen who presented with diarrhea and puffed up/lethargic/hiding in corner yesterday. Totally fine the day before. She is still eating and drinking but very little. No mites, crop is good, belly not squishy. Not egg bound, I checked. She's about 5 years old, doesn't really lay anymore. No...

    Vitamin deficiency?

    Hen was about a year, rooster is roughly 2. He's a very large cochin who likes to rooster high, sometimes he hurts himself when he jumps down, which was initially my first thought until the hen started doing the same. He can walk and even run but seems stiff and mostly takes a few steps and then...

    Vitamin deficiency?

    Yes, I use the safeguard paste for this reason. I put it at the front of their beak and let them Hen died. Rooster 'looks/sounds' good but still takes a few steps and sits. He can walk/run if he feels threatened but looks stiff doing it.

    Vitamin deficiency?

    Yes, I gave them all individual doses of the dewormer orally due to the differences in weight. I've been hand feeding them eggs.

    Vitamin deficiency?

    They were eating their feed, the rooster still is somewhat, the hen has not once this started. I'll also add no mites and they were looked over by a vet and given a good bill of health (minus the worms) a few weeks ago. It's also been 100 degrees here so they have been free ranging so they can...

    Vitamin deficiency?

    Can deworming cause vitamin deficiency? My chickens were diagnosed with threadworms last month. They initially were treated with 5 consecutive days of safegaurd paste. I gave the second dose a few days ago. 2 days after the second dose I noticed both my rooster and a hen not wanting to walk...

    Fenbendazole egg withdrawal

    I apologize for having to ask this because I know it's been asked at nauseum, but there never seems to be a consistent answer. Possibly because it's personal preference? Fenbendazole paste, what is the egg withdrawl time? I known there is no egg withdrawl with Fenbendazole Aquasol, this is in...

    Fenbendazole Treatment, PLEASE HELP

    @dawg53 Sorry, just want to make sure I'm following. My vet told me dose once and then repeat in 10-14 days so I'm trying to nail this down since apparently maybe thats not correct. I do generally deworm every spring and fall. I also believe at least one chicken has had them for quite some...

    Fenbendazole Treatment, PLEASE HELP

    Thank you for the information. Is there a reason why not to repeat in 10 - 14 days? Everywhere else I look says you would need to repeat. Will 5 consecutive days (which I've been doing) eradicate any eggs/worms that could remain in the feces? Would it hurt to repeat? I don't want to harm the...

    Fenbendazole Treatment, PLEASE HELP

    My chickens were just diagnosed with threadworms. When I worm I usually use the safegaurd equine paste, pea sized amount, repeat in 10 days. This is also what my vet recommended for the threadworms. Should I be giving the paste 5 days consecutively or is the above recommendation for the goat...
