I have four of my girls out of 18 that have been feather picking each other for a few months. I have sat and watched them and they will walk up to one of the other pickers, turn their neck up or to the side so the other one will pick feathers out. Four of them walking around with completely...

Hello Everyone!
I posted about a sick hen about a week ago (Mon Jan 29th). I took a fecal sample to the vet that day and they diagnosed capillaria worms. He gave me five syringes of Panacur to give her for five days and said she would be good after that.
