    would corid treat worms too?

    I have a 2 1/2 years old barred rock who is pretty sick. Diarrhea for a week now, tired, not eating well, this came on sudden, she was fine the day before this all happened. I ordered Corid, should come in today. Since it kills the parasitic protazoa, would it kill any worms also??

    My hens are dying, vets says 2.5 years is old? true

    I am losing my 2 year 7 month old hens. Called a vet and he said they are old and succumb to disease more easily. This stinks!! I am wondering if I have a virus ect.. spreading throughout my flock or are they just old?? The three that have gone were small hens and very heavy layers.

This was my dumbest self question, thank god...

    please stop your chickens from freezing to death

    we who live in a cold climate need to make sure that we have a secure, ENCLOSED-all sides coop for our hens. No expert, but I can't see just a trap as enough to protect in sub below temps. Thick layer of bedding to insulate the floor,fresh water, not frozen, you need a heated bowl or some other...
