    Can you see gapeworms in poop?

    Green poop usually means starvation poop. From what I have been told, then it made sense when I lost a Hen. She was losing weight, eventually green poop and then died.

    Using Duck Aquaponics to filter pond water and produce duck feed?

    Worms in chicken poop...

    I had to take one to the vet and get a float test. The goat dewormer did not work, as they had tapeworms. Vet gave me praziquantel tables. Gave it to them, the next day dead worms, then another does 2 weeks later. Solved the problem. Months later they had them again. I bought cat dewormer on...

    Hatchery stock breeds that go broody

    I also have one that is starting to go broody. I thought I bought all breeds that don't, but she is staying in the coop and nesting box, having a fit when I take the eggs. Going to give her another day or two and make sure that is her problem before I take action.

    Actual Correct Dosage for Safeguard Dewormer for Chickens

    Was that the only water they had available for the day? I scoop poop twice a day, and this morning I saw one pile of poop with tiny little white worms all over it. I have SafeGuard goat dewormer, and am wondering if I should remove their waterers and leave one with the dewormer in the run for...

    Normal Poop?

    Is this a Roo? Today it looked like red waddles coming In. Didn't get any pics of them today. These are from a couple of days ago. Was trying to get pics of their eye progress. This one was 100% today, completely. He/she had swollen eyes as well a week ago.

    Normal Poop?

    It was a small hatchery that didn't offer vaccination. I didn't realize how important it would be until I got them home. It has been a learning experience. That is for sure. Hate I lost four, I got really attached to them quickly. But I was bound and determined after losing them to save the...
