    Worming question

    Thanks for all the help trying to identify these nasty things! I've treated their feed with the Strike since I had it and will keep a close eye on things. If I see anything else I'll treat with one of your recommendations!

    Worming question

    Would they wiggle on their own? Whatever it was they were alive. I'll keep an eye, but thankfully I didn't see them today. If I was going to give them the Strike individually about how many pieces should I give them? Maybe just a few then mix the rest in the food?

    Worming question

    Guess I should have taken pictures, didn't have my phone on me at the time. They were smaller though, like more maggot sized, but I'm pretty sure they were not maggots.

    Worming question

    I just went out and didn't see any in last nights poop. Maybe it was hatching eggs?

    Worming question

    It's hard to tell, but maybe. They were small, definitely not those long ones.

    Worming question

    Oh GROSS! No they were smaller. I think I might have thrown up cleaning the poop board with those on there!

    Worming question

    Since I already have the Strike I'll just use it, but maybe try to get each of them to eat a few before mixing into the food? Then use something else going forward.

    Worming question

    I mixed the whole bottle with a bag of feed and let them eat it until it was done. I refilled their feed containers a couple days ago with untreated food. I've got 22 chickens and wanted to be sure they all ate it so I didn't refill anything until they'd eaten all the treated food.

    Worming question

    Last week a used Rooster Booster wormer to worm my birds. I hadn't seen any worms but just did it as a precaution. I was cleaning the poop board yesterday and saw lots of worms in the poop. Shouldn't the wormer have killed them? I went to the feed store today and got Strike III type B wormer...

    Yolk sac on the outside not aborbing

    I went ahead and left it to dry up on it's own. I was able to trim off a good portion of it but theres still a stub there. About how long does it usually take to fall all the way off? I tried putting it with the other babies, but I think they'll peck it to death so I'll wait until the stub is...

    Yolk sac on the outside not aborbing

    One of my chickens was sitting on a bunch of eggs and since they were staggered in hatching she lost interest in sitting on the rest after the first one hatched the other day. Yesterday I bought an incubator to try to hatch them myself. 3 have hatched, the last one did overnight and has a very...

    Brody hen kicked out some eggs

    So I've got a broody frizzle, she began sitting a couple weeks ago and I meant to move her but got busy and didn't. Long story short the other chickens were laying in the nest too so there are a bunch of staggered eggs. I moved her and one hatched a few days ago but the others haven't yet and...

    Worming

    Yep it was maggots. So awful!!! What about using apple cider vinegar? I've heard that is a good non toxic method.

    Worming

    There is probably an answer here somewhere but honestly I'm so upset right now I don't have it in me to look. One of my chickens had been acting off lately and I suspected worms. I went to the feed store to look for a wormer and the bottle said that you can't eat the eggs after the chicken...

    Hatching Eggs in the Winter

    OK good! I've been so stressed all day! I tried to cover the drafty areas, I don't think there is a direct draft on her and I've got 2 heat lamps right in front of the nest. I'll just cross my fingers that all goes well :) Thanks!

    Hatching Eggs in the Winter

    I had a silkie go broody and went ahead and let her sit on her one egg and gathered a couple more over the next day just to see what would happen. I really had no idea if she'd stay there or even if they were fertile, but figured probably since I have 2 busy boys. Anyways… my coop is kinda...
