    Tapeworm Deworming Questions

    Thank you BrandyS! Glad to hear that my chickens eating the tapeworm isn't going to hurt them. It was just disgusting! I plan in throwing the eggs out for 10 days and then I am going to worm them again. I will wait 10 days after the second worming before we eat the eggs. Kills me to throw away...

    Tapeworm Deworming Questions

    Hi all - thanks for asking and again, for all the information! I took the food away for 24 hours and then wormed all 19 with the Z Gold and was able to get a pea amount size in each chicken.My chickens are pretty docile so it wasn't hard at all for me to get the meds in their mouths. After about...

    Tapeworm Deworming Questions

    Hi! I have read this thread from the top and I need help! I have 19 chickens and have had a tapeworm problem for months. I have done rounds of the Zimectrin Gold and the worms always come back. Separating the chickens is not an option since I have 19 of them and I a pretty sure all of them have...

    Buff Orp Being Shunned by flock

    It's been a while but thought I would post an update - after about three months of me putting her in the coop every night, she FINALLY joins the flock in the coop with them at night. She seems to have mellowed out a bit and now that she is accepted, she is easier to pet and just seems like she...

    Buff Orp Being Shunned by flock

    Thank you kindly for your replies. I didn't know chickens were so sensitive to smell! She had super glue on her head for about two weeks and that finally fell off about a month ago. So maybe it was about smell but now she has been with them for about a month. Is that long enough to get rid of...

    Buff Orp Being Shunned by flock

    I could use some guidance!! I have 6 hens that were my original flock. About three months ago I added a Buff Orp and a Australorp. When I originally added the Buff and Australorp I seperated them from my 6 hens for a week or so but kept them side by side of my existing flock. When I finally put...

    Worming and Ivermectin Dosage Question

    Thank you dawg53 - I will just wait to worm the little ones until they are older like you suggested. I did have two of my chicks get sick about three weeks ago and I think they had cocci. I seperated them, treated them with Sulmet and after a week of not knowing if they were going to make it...

    Worming and Ivermectin Dosage Question

    One more question dawg53 - I have some chicks that are near the hens but not in the same cage as them. I have some that are 8 weeks and some that are 6 weeks. Are they too young to worm or should I even worm them? I haven't seen any tapeworm segments in their poop. Thank you so much!

    Worming and Ivermectin Dosage Question

    Thank you so so so much dawg53! I have been reading a lot about worms on BYC and I see you are the worm expert! I purchased Zimecterin Gold today and withheld the food from the chickens so I will give them each a pea size tomorrow morning. I will then do it again in 10 days. I really...

    Worming and Ivermectin Dosage Question

    Hi all! I could use some help with dosage for liquid ivermectin. I have 8 hens and at least two of them, not all of them, have wworms. The worms are in their poop and look like small grains of rice. I have given them all a round of Wazine but that did nothing. I have giving them DE in their food...

    Need some encouragement please!

    Thank you jak2002003 and chickapeeps! Jak2002003, I would be a stress case if I had gone through everything you have been going through. Holy smokes!! I am happy to hear all is going well now. I do agree, I think I got too many chicks and stressed them all out. I am learning some big lessons and...

    Need some encouragement please!

    Thank you chickapeeps! It does make me feel better to know that you went through the same thing with your chicks and they came through. I have been watching them drink and even eat a little so I think that is my saving grace. I am still in the "holding my breath" phase like you said. I also am...

    Need some encouragement please!

    Hi all - I am pretty new to chickens and I need some encouragement. I feel like I have been faced with one challenge after another recently and I am getting discouraged. About 6 months ago I got my first flock of 6 hens. My sister gave them to me after she had to move. They were about one to one...

    Breed and Gender advice please!

    Hi all - I was given this chick and I'm pretty sure it's a Barred Rock but the red comb has me thinking it a rooster. All these chicks are around 6 weeks old but it's the Barred Rock I am most concerned about. Advice would be greatly appreciated! As far as the Lavendar Orpington in the first...
