De-worming Treatment?
Showed the worm photo to my vet friend…yup roundworms. So I’m treating with Safe-Guard (fenbendazole) suspension 10% (100mg/mL) at .23mL per pound of bird. Each bird (I have six) will get a small piece of bread with their dosage and a dollop of vanilla yogurt (to sweeten the deal) once on...- NortonKittyOllie

De-worming Treatment?
If anyone is keeping score, I did ask my vet about "worms in eggs" she researched it (she has resources I don't have access to) and said... "while rare, in between ovulation from the ovary and the laying down of egg shell in the shell gland, it is possible for adult roundworms to "crawl" up from...- NortonKittyOllie

De-worming Treatment?
Here's a photo of the worm (I saw two)... don't mind the big black thing in the upper left side of picture, that's just a sunflower seed.- NortonKittyOllie

De-worming Treatment?
Yeah, I get that part, just saw this as more of a "flock management" issue or even a "medical/health" issue, not really in the same category as fox/hawk/flys/mites "pests" issue. Thanks.- NortonKittyOllie

De-worming Treatment?
Not sure why this was moved to "Predators and Pests". Thought "Managing Your Flock" was more appropriate. 🤷♀️- NortonKittyOllie

De-worming Treatment?
I've acquired three new hens, currently quarantined, and I inspected their poop...yeah, wormy. What do you use to de-worm your chickens? Also, when can you start eating their eggs again? I know you shouldn't eat during the treatment (I THINK I read somewhere to not eat the eggs up until a month...- NortonKittyOllie

Well, I JUST ordered the No-Crow-Rooster-Collar for Master Jedi Luke. Let cross fingers and toes that this thing works, or at least minimizes his crowing. Luke was supposed to be Leia ... until he crowed. Now the chickens aren't allowed out of the hen house until 8:30 a.m. at the earliest. I'm...- NortonKittyOllie

Am I panicking??? My Jersey Giant "Gladys"... I think???
Hi all, I have a Jersey Giant chicken who is nearly 4 mos. old. "She" is very docile, I never see her spar with the other chickens, and "she" does not have that extra spur toe (I think that's what it's called) that roosters get. Obviously, "she" is not done growing (I read that they mature much...- NortonKittyOllie

Ironically, it is the EXACT same color of the paint chip I have taped up to my bedroom wall! How funny is that? Benjamin Moore "Lewiville" LOL!- NortonKittyOllie
