    To worm or not to worm?

    I have a large mixed flock of chickens, ducks, geese, and two turkeys. I'm wondering if you guys worm regularly or if you only worm when you see symptoms. I don't see symptoms other than some poops I see are sometimes runny/yellow or slightly bloody, but nobody is acting sick (other than the...

    Hello everyone. I'm just a little confused on the dosage and would like to confirm some things. Based on what I read, if my flock weighs a total of 90lbs, I need to use 0.225 mL in 8 cups of water. Does this sound correct? Also....there are 16 cups of water in a gallon. So if my math is...

    Turkeys Not Gaining weight

    Heritage Bronze will not gain weight at the same rate Broad Breasted Bronze turkeys gain weight. If you have Heritage Bronze they will not reach full weight until they are a year old.

    How long can a wooden chick coop stay "infected" with anything/everything?

    The protozoal eggs can survive for years in contaminated soil/feces. Infected birds are carriers, if they survive. Chickens and turkey's should be completely separated from each other. Worm chickens monthly to end the cecal worm lifecycle which is the host for the protozoa. The protozoa is...

    Quail Behavior

    Turkey starter, 'good'.... meal worms and grit, 'bad' at this age! Turkey starter and clean water are the 2 most important things at this age. What's the brooder or the area your keeping them in look like, how is it set up? Sometimes when they hatch late they have problems, they may survive or...

    How to breed for a lighter/smaller turkey?

    My juvenile royal palms are as big as the largest wild turkeys in my area. The wild turkeys likely carry a high parasite/worm load. I suspect that nutrition and health during the poult stage has the biggest impact on their final adult size.

    So sorry for that diagnosis and for the other loss. Thank you for sharing the necropsy results. is also called blackhead, which affects turkeys more often. Cecal worms should be treated with fenbendazole or Valbazen in all of your flock. SafeGuard liquid Goat wormer should be given 0.25 ml per...

    To worm or not to worm?

    Ok, thanks. The thing is, symptoms and worms only show themselves if there's a heavy infestation. If it humidity and wet all the worm months, I'd do it atleast once a year. I'd worm with fenbendazole for the chickens, I'm pretty sure it's also safe for ducks and turkeys.

    Cecal worms

    Cecal worms are a type of parasite that don’t bother chickens so much, but can cause blackhead disease in turkeys. You can also get SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer, and use 1/4 ml per pound once given orally to each chicken and repeat that again in 10 days. To treat for capillary and gapeworms, as...
