    Moving my chickens to a dog run area, any tips on how to treat the yard/soil ??

    Thanks for the help! I just wanted to do something to feel better about putting them over there. That area just seams a little gross knowing my dog has peed and pooped on it for years. I think I've decided to do a little grunt work and remove the top layer of grass a few inches down and treat...

    Moving my chickens to a dog run area, any tips on how to treat the yard/soil ??

    It is part grass and part dirt from him running little trails. That sounds like a great idea. Do you think that kind of heat would kill anything below the surface of the dirt?

    Moving my chickens to a dog run area, any tips on how to treat the yard/soil ??

    I am moving my three chickens to an area of yard that our dog has used for his dog run for years. I have already had to treat my chickens for worms when I bought them as hens and have since had to re-treat one for tapeworm. I'm afraid that the dog's yard could have who knows what in the soil and...

    Wormed TWICE and they are back!! ???

    Thank you so much for the responses. That was a very helpful and informative thread! I think I will attempt to see which one has worms first then treat with the Valbazen again and see if anything passes like the first time. I'm thinking the first time I wormed them really worked and one must...

    Wormed TWICE and they are back!! ???

    I noticed one of my three chickens had worms about two months ago. I researched and am sure it was tapeworm and treated all three with albazene wormer which treats tapeworm. Two days after first treatment I saw a passed long skinny white worm, sorry gross. I treated again ten days later. It has...

    Help! New chicken owner and think i have found WORMS and LICE...

    Thanks so much for all the information :) Can the sevin be used in their coop under shavings as a preventative measure even after they are all treated, or do you not want to exposed them that often? Also, should I toss the eggs that I have collected before I discovered the worms?

    Hello, I am so bummed :( I have just started this exciting new adventure with three beautiful hens. We have had them for about 2weeks. My black Maran has had poop stuck on her back feathers a few times and I have cleaned it off twice now with warm water. This last time I was cleaning them, I...

    Hello from Washington :)

    Thanks everyone for the good ideas and welcoming :) Thankfully, things are calming down and the girls seem to be getting along pretty well now. My Maran has quickly made herself leading lady but hasn't been physical with my sweet Orpington anymore that I have seen. It sure has been interesting...

    Hello from Washington :)

    Wow thanks for the quick replies! I'm so happy to have joined BYC, I'm sure I will be using this resource often! Thanks for the ideas too :) It's nice to hear from others who have experienced this already. It is pretty sad but I'm realizing I do just have to let them figure it out. My poor...

    Hello from Washington :)

    Yesterday we started our new chicken adventure with three beautiful hens! One very sweet Buff Orpington a Barred Rock and a black Maran. They all came from the same flock and are about 7mths old. They are in a 4' x 8' coop. I realize they have a lot of adjusting to do when it comes to pecking...
