    Actual Correct Dosage for Safeguard Dewormer for Chickens

    Dang guys, could this be more confusing? Lots of conflicting info, not sure how to proceed. If it is effective to put in water, this would be preferable since I cannot wrangle a chicken, hold beak open, and administer med by myself. That means I have to schedule someone to come help me. This is...

    Shelless eggs

    Would you cull a hen repeatedly laying shelless eggs? If not, how would you treat? She is an Easter-Egger about 1-1/2 year old. Sporadically she lays shelless eggs, and has laid 2 this week. I have given her two rounds of calcium supplements of every day for a week each time. No improvement. She...

    Hen losing weight, not eating

    I picked her up because she pecked me. She has always been a bit grumpy. 🙄 Using SafeGuard goat dewormed (liquid), 3/4 ml. I was told 1/4 ml per pound. She is not laying, and I don't believe she has for some time, or at least rarely. A week or so ago I had her on a calcium regimen to see if she...

    Hen losing weight, not eating

    This is Anna, an almost two-year-old Easter Egger. Last week I noticed she had lost a noticeable amount of weight. Monday when I lifted her, I was shocked by how little she weighed. I separated her from the flock and brought her in for observation. She is down to 3 lbs 3 oz. She has no other...

    Question on Integrating Chicks with Hen

    Just thought I'd post an update. After a week or so of 2 chicks at a time with Lacey, the hen, they were acclimated enough that I put them all in the coop together for the afternoon. They did great! I went ahead and left them in the coop for the night, showing them to go up to the...

    Question on Integrating Chicks with Hen

    There is more space than the photo shows, and I'm working on plans to add a run to the coop. When we ordered the coop, it said it was large enough for 6 full-sized chickens. I was pretty disappointed when we got it put together. What were they thinking?? It will be ok while they are still small...
