If it's NOT *just* round worms I should dose once per day for 5 days--or still just ONE time and then follow up 10 -14 days? Is that safegard really that effective that they only need it once and then agin one more time in 10 or so days?
And how do u feel about wazine17 first, and then follow...
She is concerned about the coop floor and the droppings. She has a smaller coop/run. I guess there is a tray under the roost that she can empty daily... But the floor in the run is Grass/dirt. Does she have to spray down the run, pick up poop and discard it... I mean, if she doesn't, will this...
I know there is so much info out here on worming...almost too much to sift through.
My friend's chickens have round worms. I know she can treat with wazine...but I'd rather her use safe-guard 10% goat suspension or even valbezen. Because her chickens aren't used to being handled, can she...
I have 2 broody chickens. The first one went broody 3 weeks ago and she has been in her own coop that is 8x10 with an enclosed outside pen for a couple months now because we were trying to integrate her (and her man) with the main flock--then she when broody. This coop is attached to my main...
Early on, back on the first page of this thread it says that hen#2 immune system was compromised by lice infestation and cocci, is that as a RESULT of the pox--or was that BEFORE the pox?
Are the chickens susceptible to anything else because of the pox, or did they get this as a result of...
I know that this post is a couple years old...but I am curious, can u give this medicine orally rather than inject it. I don't think I can do the whole needle thing.
Yes...they are Courtnix. I'm not sure the exact ratio of male/female yet. I just know there are at least 5 males based on color and crowing so far. I will watch for over breeding and too many males. Will separate as needed. Thanks for all your help.
We are kind of new to quail. I have 4 females and I think one male (although he makes no noise yet and he is plenty old enuff) in a brooder pen,; in another pen I have 20 younger quail (about 3 weeks younger) various sexes (at least 4 males, they are making male calls). I'd like to combine...
I probably need to read about that, I had gotten the impression from another post somewhere that quail and chickens shouldn't be close. . The quail cage is on the other side of the yard from my chicken pen, probably a 100 feet or so. However they are in a breeding pen that had chickens in it...
Hi,
I'm new to qual, but have lots of chickens. My husband and I purchased a dozen Courtnix the other day. They are almost 3 weeks old. We have them outside in a large breeder pen. Construction wire bottom, and solid rooftop. 3 sides of the pen are chicken wire, one wall (the inner wall) is...

We had floods here in SW Alabama the other day and my coop has a dirt floor but took on a lot of water and debris..there were about two feet of oak leaves and sticks and sandy dirt in the coop. I have hauled all the debris out and am back down to the damp earth. No standing water, just damp...
The chicks were all together. I moved them out of the brooder into a closed coop. I had another flock previously in that coop that had just started laying, so I shifted everyone around. I had cleaned the coop but obviously not well enuff. Because within 3 days I had a 6-week old acting...
I posted yesterday that I had a couple 6 week old chicks w cocci. I have the main population on corrid as well as the two isolated chicks. After 3 full days on corrid they are so much better. Eating and drinking and chirping away. The main population appears to be fine, no new illnesses. All...
