Does this feed tend to cause pasty butts on the chicks? Need to know. thanks.

yes, the two egg problems were before the illness. the treatment was duramax10 and ivermectin then wazine a few weeks later. Gave them all a flea bath to rid of external parasites. they have all made remarkable recovery, but the two still have problems. One hen (the most consistent layer) just...

Oh, they are RIRs, 2 1/2 years old. I did have a rooster, but no more.

The birds are all just coming back from being sick with some kind of ailment that hit them all. I did medicate them, eradicated all parasites inside and out, cleaned the coop, and yard. I believe she has a malformation of some kind. The other one that lays weak eggs, well, I just don't know...

These are the eggs I gathered today. Usually I get 2 (I have 4 hens). Yesterday, I got one that was lighter than the others, weaker, and grainy. I'm thinking since they were sick, Only 2 were laying, and now the other 2 are just coming back. The one weak egg has always been...(from which hen I...

I understand the vet doesn't have a hard time looking at the chicken poop, but I have a hard time paying him to do so. I am on very limited budget and have to do as much as I can myself. So far, I have saved my birds in every case they had, but still am having problems getting them all to lay...

what kind of food dye would I use? the only kind I know of is the little bottles of liquid you buy for making cakes and cookies...lol.

Ive tried that, and keeping them in the coop individually, etc, and when I do that they don't lay so I still can't tell which girl it is.

I have 4 hens. 1 is laying weak shelled eggs. I have tried everything I know to help the egg quality, and the other hens all lay good eggs. but there is the 1...and I don't know which one it is. Can anyone tell me how to define which hen is laying the weak eggs? My birds are all cage free, free...

thank you for that information. It's hard to find specific information on these posts.

I never saw worms in my chickens poop, but wriggling on their bellies. I wonder if this is the "poopy butt fly strike" mentioned? anyway, I knew they also had mites so first, I gave them a bath with mild flea bath...that helped tremendously and their feathers have all grown back. I also gave...

Often times I think my chickens put stuff in their water on purpose to flavor the water. So many times I don't find dirt, but do find lettuce leaves, watermelon, and other greens I have given them to eat. I even found tree leaves, grass, and corn in there. I think they actually "cook" for...

My RIRs had similar problems. Quit laying, red bellies and tails, I found worms, and I knew they had mites. Gave them all a bath with mild salt water and dog flea shampoo. Gave them all Ivermectin, and a week later used the Wazine wormer. Also gave them Duramyacin-10 for 7 days. They all seem to...

I got some Wazine and gave that to them. So, I'm hoping that will make them better, and so far, 3 girls are laying again, all good eggs, solid shells, etc. Since they are being medicated right now, I cook and feed their eggs back to them. I think this is really helping, since they really don't...

Here's my plan: I have already built them a new coop with 10 bay roll away egg station. All I need is a door to keep them in it which I will build today. The chickens will be moved into the new coop tonight. They will get their new organic lay mash and a little scratch, and their medicated...

They have fresh mash in a new feeder off the ground. Nope...that's not the problem. I just bought this mash the other day....I keep it in a barrel, covered, under a covered roof. Nope, not bad mash.

No, no open wounds on them. It seems that after I gave them the baths, they are doing better. Not completely well yet, but better than before the baths.

I have 6 chickens: 1 rooster, 5 hens. All RIR. They all have this swollen red butt problem and there are 3 that have worms on the outside of the skin. I am thinking they are the small round worms, but could be some other type. I am administering Ivermectin, amount: the size of a Pea. I was told...

I realize this post is 4 years old, but for now and future reference to someone in need: I have 6 chickens: 1 rooster, 5 hens. All RIR. They all have this problem and there are 3 that have worms on the outside of the skin. I am thinking they are the small round worms, but could be some other...

btw: it's only 1 hen that's having egg problems. not all of them.
