    Chick diarrhea

    What are you feeding your chicks? They should be fed chick starter, no treats or veggies until the feces is solid. However, you can give them plain boiled white rice mixed in the feed or in a separate bowl for a few days if you wish, make sure the rice has cooled before giving it to them. The...

    Roundworm Retreatment

    In addition to what @coach723 stated, it's best to worm each bird orally using a syringe without a needle, that way you know they got wormed properly. Safeguard liquid goat wormer or Albendazole liquid wormer are best. Mixing wormers in water isnt very effective since you dont know if they...

    De-Wormer

    We've eaten eggs after using Safeguard liquid goat wormer over the years. We're still here alive and well. It's always best to worm each bird individually because you dont know if birds drink enough of the treated water to be effective or if they drink it at all.

    Is it appropriate to de-worm during molting?

    I've given Albendazole many times over the years to birds in molt without any issues. Dosages are the same as usual, no matter. Be sure to worm ALL your birds.

    Dewormers for chickens, in Ontario Canada

    I've been using Safeguard liquid goat wormer and Albendazole for years and they are effective wormers for poultry. I wish we had Piperazine here, it was an excellent large roundworm flush. Go ahead and use the Safeguard goat wormer for worming, it gets rid of all poultry worms except...

    Help! Chickens Pecking Each Other, Drawing Blood and Infections!!!!

    Once birds start picking and pecking each other, it becomes a learned norm and will continue to do it. Increasing protein, increasing space, free ranging...it doesnt matter. Peepers are the way to go, otherwise get rid of the birds and start over with a smaller flock or increase space for a new...
