    Safeguard Aquasol Dewormer for Capillaria Worms?

    I sent off a fecal sample which came back positive for coccidiosis and Capillaria worms. Will start the ladies on Corid tomorrow (2 teaspoons per gallon) but my question is has anyone treated capillaria with Safeguard Aquasol dewormer? From what I found, Flubendazole is best for these type of...

    Lash Egg?

    Tonight, I found something that might be a lash egg but not sure. It's not egg shaped, when I cut into it, it looks like layers of skin. Nothing seems out of place with the gang- eating, drinking, scratching etc. I have an Australorp/Orphington mix who is 6yrs old (she might be laying an...

    Canker / Not Seeing Immediate Results

    Last Thursday, I started treating E with Metronidazole 250mg, with 1.5 tsp copper sulfate solution ( Acidified copper sulfate crystals mixed with Apple cider vinegar and water) in 2 quarts of water in the water feeder, starting this past Sunday (fresh water along with solution every day). I've...

    Acidified Copper Sulfate-Okay for Entire Flock?

    Earlier this week, I discovered one of my girls, E, has canker. No one else seems to have it. E is on day two of Metronidazole 250 mgs. I ordered Acidified Copper Sulfate which should arrive early next week. From what I've read, 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water, should be the only source of...

    Fishy Breath/Sour Crop?

    Azure Egger, about 4 years old, going through molt. I've noticed the last two days she will occasionally stand huffed up, sometimes on one leg. I checked her out yesterday and noticed she had fishy smelling breath. Didn't see any cankers. Thinking it might be sour crop, I checked her crop this...

    Last Thursday, my Azure Egger (age 4) exhibit symptoms that I thought were along the lines of Vent Gleet -yellowish/white discharge, hunched over, not eating or drinking. Comb is bright red. No poop, only green, yellow droppings (I remove poop piles daily from the coop). Haven't seen any...

    Worms After Safeguard Treatment?

    This morning, I noticed the following, which I think is roundworms. Every morning, I clean out the coop, I haven't noticed an uptick of diarrhea (maybe two incidents?) with the ladies, mostly firm fecal droppings.The flock ranges in age from 4-2 years old. I have noticed one of my eggers kinda...

    Coccidiosis? Or Not?

    I have a flock of 6, with one acting a bit off. Gladys is 2 years old and been laying frequently. She busted out of the coop with the rest of the gang this morning, think she ate with the rest. This afternoon, I gave the flock some scratch, in addition to their feed. Gladys hung back and didn't...

    Impacted/Sour Crop?

    I've gone through some of the posts, but I still need some advice. My RIR, 4.5 year old didn't come out of the coop a few days ago. She finally came out slowly but wasn't eating. Checked her crop, it seemed like it was impacted. We feed the girls New Country feed. So I gave her some bread soaked...

    FirstTimer Using SafeGuard/Second Round

    My apologies if this has been covered before. On the advice of the vet, I gave the girls Safeguard due to evidence of worms in fecal test. Rather than use the liquid, I used the equine paste which I administered for 5 days. It's been 30 days and it's time to give them a second round but here is...

    Rats in run during the day

    In the last week, we have seen rats in the run during the day. We're in the city, next to a backyard with a portion that is left wild. Right now, I'm mixing cayenne pepper in the feed to discourage them, which doesn't seem to deter them. After setting traps last night, we didn't catch one. 6"...

    Post Worming/Corid, Hen not well- impacted crop?

    Earlier this month, I sent samples to our state's poultry lab. Results came back evidence of Capillaria, and Roundworms, along with Coccidiosis. After receiving the results, two days later I treated the flock with 2 teaspoons of Corid in their water for 5 days, fresh each day, along with...

    Chickens Stopped Laying, Cause?

    First, my apologies if this question has been answered previously. Early in May, we finished building a new coop and enlarging the run. At that time, the two new ladies moved in with our existing gang of two. I must mention that prior to the move, the two latest hens were situated next to the...

    Yawning? Worse?

    This afternoon, I noticed my 2yr Easter Egger stretch her neck and open her beak. Thinking she was yawning, I thought it was cute, until she did it what seemed like 5 times in a row. By the time she went to bed with others, she seem to stop. In addition, she ate and drank some water before...

    Surprise! Small Egg! Who is the Culprit?

    My three girls have been with me since May. All are laying great with exception of the EE who went on strike in July. At that time, she was growing out her tail feathers, so I chalked up energy devoted to her growth spurt than laying. Since then, I've receive a few rubber eggs from her...

    Tapeworm? Broody? Both? Help!

    Newbie here. Arrived home around 6pm to find one my hens sitting in the nesting box. Did not come out when I shook their feeding can. Just checked on her, still sitting in the nesting box. Picked her up and placed her among her friends in the run. She went through a broody stage which ended a...
