    Fecal float interpretation

    Thanks so much. I did the sample with the University lab myself as there are no avian vets nearby. The lab doesn’t make recs. This is my first rodeo with fecal floats and wasn’t sure what the results would look like or how informative the report would be. Appreciate the input! 🙏🏼

    Fecal float interpretation

    Thanks! Could I mix the safeguard into a small amount of food for each chicken and give individually? Also I guess the other part of the question is where can I find info on tolerances before treatment if anyone knows that. Appreciate the help!! 💚

    Fecal float interpretation

    Hello I just got back results for a fecal float and I am looking for some help to interpret it. The first sample (Bird 1) was the bird I thought had more problems, loose stools. The second sample was for 2 other birds that had well formed poo. So this result is sort of confusing. I cannot find...

    Looks like worms?

    Thank you!! Yes Scratch n peck layer pellets. For calcium they have access to their eggshells (baked), pelletized oyster shell and regular oyster shell. I am considering discontinuing using their own eggshells. Thanks again!

    Looks like worms?

    Also wanted to add one chicken is laying normally, there are only 2 adults in one coop and 8 9+ week old chicks in an adjoining coop divided with hardware cloth, so they could be exposed as well. Tips on treatment would be appreciated.

    Looks like worms?

    Hello I have a hen who was broody and sitting on eggs up until about 9 weeks ago, then started laying a few eggs again which started out well and then became thin. I started her on Calcium citrate 3 days ago to see if that will help. Yesterday she laid a soft shell egg with a thicker membrane...

    Cull? Found mass under roost bar this morning

    Thank you. I just posted some photos. My husband is holding one half if that helps for scale. She laid a shell-less egg with a bunch of poop this morning. The last time she laid an egg I had to pull a thin shell out of her vent. Then I have a butt soak to try to get anything out to avoid...

    Cull? Found mass under roost bar this morning

    Warning, gross photo. Background: My big Marans was doing the crop dance back in June, so I treated her for impacted crop. It only went down so far and a mass wouldn’t go away. So then I started thinking maybe she has a tumor. After 2.5 or 3 weeks in a crate I put her back into the chicken...

    Chicken butt scabby not fluffy

    Scratch n peck layer pellets, scratch n peck Grubs a small amount almost daily, grass when they get out, sunflower seeds, etc. I have a chicken tractor that I use to let them on grass but protected from predators. They are pretty spoiled!

    Chicken butt scabby not fluffy

    Thanks her butt has been messy so just wanted to make sure. It’s been soooo rainy here so I haven’t let them out as much. but only 3 hens in big coop and a double run that is enclosed and covered with access all day, so lots of places to be. Chickens can be such jerks!

    Chicken butt scabby not fluffy

    Hi I noticed my chicken looking like she was missing some butt feathers so I picked her up to investigate. I found what looks like scabs and maybe some bruising. She has had more watery poops lately but I don’t see mites. The roost bar had a bit of blood on it a while back. Maybe the flock boss...
