    Red Mite HELP

    I was actually thinking of using generic flea and tick stuff for DOGS on my hens. It's the old school kind, with permethrin, not the new stuff with Fipronil (which I know chickens don't tolerate). I'm thinking a drop on their backs might be less traumatic and work faster than spraying them or...

    Treating Tapeworms - Under Construction

    Sooo, after reading this thread multiple times, and realizing that Safeguard had NOT done the trick, I grabbed some Equimax at TSC last time I was there. I observed the girls for a few more days and decided that a few were definitely under the weather and there were obvious worm parts (and not...

    ** 2017 New Drug Law - What Are Your Plans? **

    I have a stash of people antibiotics that I keep around for my chickens just in case. It turns out my son and I are allergic to a few, so I have extras once in a while. I keep them a little, but not too long, past their expiration date and then toss them. Right now I have Bactrim and Flagyl...

    BYC Features That I *Love*

    I'm usually on the mobile site, and not everything works from there, but I can tell my phone to switch to desktop and I will actually get all the features of the whole site, which is very handy. I like the search feature, and being able to search within a thread, those are what I use most. And...

    Anyone tried this?

    No problem. They market it for several purposes including the dog poop in your yard. I think I will order a bag to give it a try. I will report my findings.

    Anyone tried this?

    http://www.jefferspet.com/products/dookashi-in-the-coop I came across this product while shopping for something else on the Jeffers site. I use wood pellets for bedding and I mix SweetPDZ with them to keep things dry and smelling nice. As far as I know SweetPDZ is an all natural, safe mineral...

    Darn it, I AM a writer, but I don't think I have had chickens long enough to come up with anything useful. Grrr.

    deworming with rooster booster triple action multi wormer

    I will,thanks! Oh, I've seen the Durvet Strike 3 at TSC, it's Hygromycin B just like Rooster Booster. Comes in plastic bag instead of cannister, but main ingredient is the same.

    deworming with rooster booster triple action multi wormer

    Thanks! My vets office used to be a farm vet office too, and he told me that they talked about Poultry in vet school, but only in terms of the large scale factory farm operations. He is very interested in my backyard operation, and I am guessing he'll help if he can.

    deworming with rooster booster triple action multi wormer

    I think I might have to, to be sure. I asked last time I had a dog out there and they said they "thought" they could do a check for worms just like they do for dogs and cats. I don't know what the difference would be? They do all seem very healthy, and have normal poop, but I would rather worm...

    Clip wings or not.????

    I have one hen who can fly out of the 6 foot fenced section of the yard. She doesn't do it often, just when she thinks I've taken too long to let the girls out into the WHOLE yard (they share with my three dogs, two of whom are bird dogs, so not everyone gets the whole yard at once). Somehow...

    deworming with rooster booster triple action multi wormer

    My girls love pumpkins too, which is handy this time of year, gets rid of jack-o-lantern guts, but I don't think I would trust that for all of my deworming. I have to say though, that despite eating large numbers of crickets, moths, and earthworms, no one is showing any symptoms of worms. Maybe...

    deworming with rooster booster triple action multi wormer

    Well, that's pretty non-specific as far as what kind of worms, but I might give it a go. I've used Safeguard the last two times, and Valblazen is really expensive.

    deworming with rooster booster triple action multi wormer

    I've been wondering about the hygromycin B too, because it's actually an antibiotic. I can see both pros and cons to this, I guess. It's supposed to help with respiratory tract issues as well as worms, which could be useful during our dusty fall harvest weather up here, BUT will this make them...
