    Thanks! Good to know! Now I gotta look for dead ones lol. But these were all I saw.

    Trying to find an easy wormer

    Here's a video and pic of them. I'm thinking they are just maggots but IDK for sure.

    Trying to find an easy wormer

    Thanks! I should take a sample to be tested. I've looked up photos and what I think I see is capillary because they are very small worms in the poo. IDK if the chickens are expelling them or they are developing between poop board cleanings from flys or whatnot. But if that's the case sounds like...

    Trying to find an easy wormer

    So I might have to use a few different meds then? I'm not treating orally. It has to go in the water or food or thoughts & prayers. But if it's only in the water it will only treat roundworms? That Jedds link says "not found" BTW

    Trying to find an easy wormer

    I'm sure this has been talked about ad nauseam but here we go anyway. I have about 20 chickens that have never been wormed. Some are bout 4 years old some are 7 months. They all mingle together. They are not tame. They run from me like I'm a predator anytime I get close. So catching each one...

    Chickens seem to really like the new waterer

    Just a kiddie pool with a submersible water pump to keep the water circulating. They seem to really love it during this hot weather. I kinda like it too because I'm not refilling their 5gal bucket every day! It was funny though...took them at least a whole day to get used to it and be curious...

    Coop floor substrate and nest bedding

    I think this last time I used just 1 bag of shavings. I don't add any.

    Coop floor substrate and nest bedding

    I clean the poop boards daily (try to at least) and I scoop out all the pine shavings on the floor once or twice a year.

    Any breed guesses? weird feathers…

    Where did you get them from? If it was from TSC it might help identify them, they usually get the same breeds.
