    Repeat tape worm

    I recently finished a tape worm regiment for one of my girls in the beginning of July and there is evidence that she or someone else has tape worm (still or a new infestation). Since we don’t know who it is, we are going to treat everyone, but is it safe to treat my recently treated one so soon...

    can I use euqimax and safeguard at the same time?

    I am doing my second treatment of equimax for one of my girls and noticed another acting like she might have gapeworm. The whole flock is due to be wormed anyways, and I am trying to figure out if I can administer both the safeguard and equimax to the tapeworm bird or if that would be too much...

    Pecking habit to break?

    My one year olds have what seems like been pecking at each other. There doesn’t seem to be an order, but almost all of them are scrappy looking around their necks and or backs, no roosters here, their feed is layer crumble with what the bag says 16% crumble. When we discovered that our Brahma...

    Help with equimax dosage

    My 3.5lb barred rock (she lost weight and while smaller to begin with, we just realized the cause… tapeworm), is getting treatment this morning, but I wanted to know if she would be ok on the .15ml dosage as prescribed for a 5 lb bird, or if I could reduce it to the exact dosage .09ml for her...

    Sleepy chicken, totally stumped

    I am stumped... I have a small flock of 6 in mid northern CA, (Dixon specifically), and just over 10 days ago my 1 year old Barred Rock started showing signs of extra sleepiness during the daytime. I would not say lethargic, just falling asleep a lot. She is easy to wake, is eating, drinking...

    Identifying.. what are these?

    I know lots of folks have posted asking on these, and I have read soooo many of them, and I apologize for adding to it, but I am trying to figure just what these are... I thought they were tapeworms, but they do not move at all. They have a slight round on one end, like a pinhead. We are...

    Worming timeline

    I gave my girls Valbazen 4 days ago specifically because one has tapeworms and we decided to worm all just in case of roundworms, and we aren’t sure which eggs are hers to separate out If we just wormed her. Ok, so I have been extra diligent this week about keeping their run clean by clearing it...

    Equimax withdrawal time frame for deworming

    I have a small flock of 6 and one of my girls (all still under 6 months old) managed to get tapeworms. I researched like crazy and found a natural form for deworming that we tried first, but that now looks like it was not successful. She still shows signs in her poop of tapeworm. So back to...

    Oyster shell preparations

    I just started my girls on oyster shells in a separate feeder from their main food. They are 19 and 20 weeks ok and 3 have begun laying. My question is do I need to grind the shells beyond what they are in the store purchased bag? They are small, roughly half the size of my pinky fingernail, but...

    Hello, my son built a coop several years ago for a Grange project and we are finally putting it to use. It has the central area under the roosting bars as 1/2”x1” hardware cloth stapled to the floor with nothing below it, the intention was the poop would fall through. I have been seeing more and...

    Swollen vent and ?? Sticking out

    Hi, brand new to chickens, and one of new babies (got her from a local store) had some poop stuck near her vent, like she sat in it vs pasty butt. We soaked it off, but I noticed her vent seemed swollen and maybe it was from the poop being on there, but her vent seemed to protrude slightly. She...
