    Pus in hen’s ear

    Thank you for your reply. That is good to know. After I watched a YouTube about pus in a chicken’s ear, I looked again, and realized I had been in panic mode, and the hen does not have any pus in her ear. The inside of both ears look white, but the ear holes are straight and open. I don’t know...

    Pus in hen’s ear

    One of my hens has been shaking her head a lot. I check her eats today and found a bit of pus in one ear. She is otherwise acting normal, active, not off balance, eating, drinking and laying eggs. How do I go about helping it to clear up?

    Small prolapse only when pooping

    I only saw that little prolapse the one time. She was standing high up on a platform when she pooped. I have since checked her many times, also after I see her poop or after she laid an egg, and no prolapse. Has anyone had this happen in a hen? When I search the internet or this site, the only...

    Small prolapse only when pooping

    There is no prolapse when I check her. Only when she pooped. So I won’t be able to take a picture.

    Small prolapse only when pooping

    I witnessed one of my hens pooping, and she had a little prolapse that the poop had to get by. I have dealt with prolapsed vent before, but that was much bigger. This one’s was little, like the size of a marble. I went and prepared a bath with epsom salt, and then went back to get the hen. She...

    Deworming for tapeworm-question

    Hi again! After treating for tapeworms with Equalan Gold in the spring, I have not seen any more segments in any of the poops. I have one hen that squirts out clear liquid. It comes out whenever she bends backwards during preening. I did a fecal on her. She appears to have tapeworm. There were...

    Deworming for tapeworm-question

    I only had 7 chickens and it took me days to find out who had it. In the end I decided to treat them all, and while dosing them early in the morning on their roost, I saw the segments right below the culprit. So that’s the only one who got the second dose. The tapes are gone and have not come...

    Deworming for tapeworm-question

    Thanks so much for the quick reply @dawg53 ! I really appreciate it! Also it was so nice of you to give me the dosage! Thanks 😊 🤗 I will go today and get the Eqvalan Gold. Yes, I found the segments crawling in a poop yesterday. I have the suspected chicken in a cage to fast and monitor. She...

    Deworming for tapeworm-question

    The tapeworm came back now that it is spring. I will heed your advice now @dawg53 and get a praziquantel containing dewormer. I have the choice between Eqvalan Gold (ivermectin and praziquantel) or Quest Plus (moxidectin and praziquantel). Which one should I get for the chickens with tapeworm...

    Scabs on vent

    Thank you for the empathy! 🤗 I don’t wash her anymore, as I found doing it or not doing it made no difference. Whenever the scab is removed, it bleeds. (The vet made it bleed of course).

    Scabs on vent

    We finished the antibiotics a week ago. There is no significant change to her vent. It does look a bit better, but there is still a small area with that scabbing ooze. Because she is otherwise doing well, I will just let her be now. Hoping it will slowly go away with time. I check her once a...
