    Fowl Pox, when do I give up on an eye infection...nasty pic warning

    Thank you, that is exactly what I have been doing for the past 10-12 days plus giving her Pen-G shots as well. My decision was made for me when I went down today, she was in a corner with both eyes closed shaking and wobbly so I put her down. When I picker her up she just went limp, so I...

    Fowl Pox, when do I give up on an eye infection...nasty pic warning

    Dry pox is running through my flock, half seem to be getting a mild case and half get eye infections requiring daily/twice daily cleanings and antibiotics. I've been working on this girl for over a week, and the infection isn't clearing. I clean so much of this white stuff out a day it is...

    Foul pox, hens eyes are scabbed shut. How do i open?

    I've had dry pox running through my flock, generally just mild cases. I do have one Black Copper Maran who seems to have it pretty bad. Both eyes are glued shut with heavy scabs. One I can clean easily and get open as long as I check on her 3 times a day. She then has a tiny bit of vision in...

    Mysterious deaths, what is left to try??

    OMgosh this is great info! Thank you! Three years ago I sent my bird to Davis, but San Bernadino is closer to me. At that time I don't think the accepted poultry. And I had no idea you could ask for their FedEx number!! The diagram on packing is helpful, too. Thank you. Weird...

    Mysterious deaths, what is left to try??

    Thank you for that advice. I haven't, only because I have to send it off overnight on ice to our university, which last time cost me $150 and they found nothing wrong with the bird. Possible brain tumor. This was 3 years ago, though. I just wasn't sure if there was something they could tell...

    Mysterious deaths, what is left to try??

    Morning, I found my 6th dead hen in 8 weeks this morning. All of these have been without warning signs, as in, walking and looking normal at 8am, but found in the pen by 11am dead, no pecks, no injuries, nothing. They have been wormed with Valbazen within the past 6 months after finding...

My poor chickens have no feathers on their heads from scratching and honestly, I feel like they are just getting s little sickly. maybe the fleas, maybe not, I don't know anymore. I do know that I can not...

    Suggestions for treating pen to decrease incidence of tapeworms and chicken preventative/maintenance

    This is the second time in 3 years I've had a bad outbreak of tapes, while none of my neighbor chicken owners seem to have any issues. I know that the segments contain eggs that can infect the soil, so I am wondering if there are things I can do to the soil, coop to lessen the likelihood of...

    Gross - white worms!

    Hi, What you are describing are tape worm segments. I have battled them on and off, and they are not easy to get rid of. Do a search for various treatments, but what I did was treat with 1/4-1/2cc of Valbazen 3 times, 5 days apart with an egg withdrawal period of 2 weeks after the last dose...

    wormer without egg withdrawal?

    Is there a wormer that has no egg withdrawal? I have used valbazen before, but throwing all those eggs for so long killed me. I''m looking for something to get rid of some worms I have in some chickens (eggs in droppings) and also something as preventative. I've searched the archives, but...

    Black bugs and spots on hens head and comb

    Ok first, I might have two problems here. At first, a few weeks ago I noticed a few very small black speck spots on my chicken combs. I didn't think much of it, they looked like little blood spots from pecking and I have a few hens that are not so nice. It wasn't on every bird, but maybe...

    Multiple breeds, need help determining what type you think they are!

    I was going to say the same, was just unsure on the easter eggers as I'm having a hard time IDing mine as well!

    Tape worms AGAIN!!! Here is what I did in July, what do I do NOW??

    I have been wondering about this, and as Dawg suggested, I am not sure it's a possibility for us. Right now they are set loose in my corral during the day which is about a half acre. We are in southern california, so for 10 months of the year, it is just dirt and rocks. I have about 5 hens...

    Tape worms AGAIN!!! Here is what I did in July, what do I do NOW??

    Glad you confirmed. I have 4 of 18 clean now and I was hoping that you would comment. I have 2 geriatric hens (7+ years) that don't lay, so I'll treat them anyway....so....that leaves only 12 more for me to watch today;) Yes, the pictures are disgusting. The first time I saw them I...

    Tape worms AGAIN!!! Here is what I did in July, what do I do NOW??

    sigh....good point. I might be able to identify them by then, but maybe not. I was just out there for 45min and only saw 1 of 18 poop. She was clean.

    Tape worms AGAIN!!! Here is what I did in July, what do I do NOW??

    Ok, this sounds like a strategy. I'll go get the feeders out and follow who I can tonight. I have an old coop (the ghetto coop) that I can put those in that are infected. They should OK for now. Do I need to keep them in there for the whole 20 days?? I don 't think anyone has the time or...

    Tape worms AGAIN!!! Here is what I did in July, what do I do NOW??

    I am so frustrated!! I thought I was treating aggressively and used all the advice I got here. Last week I started seeing poo that I thought might be suspect.....I have become a diligent poo checker after the last tape worm infection. I thought maybe i was just a doomsdayer...but today I have...

    Cleaning up after tapeworms

    Thanks dawg53, since they free range, I now know I will have to be on a more diligent preventative measure. I have a couple hens that are bugs/worm fiends. One will run across the yard every time I turn the hose on because she knows I'll lift the waterer and she will find worms. how often...
