    Top Ten Worming and Wormer Misinformations - Graphic Pictures!

    From all of my research about worms, I have learned that you usually need two doses, about a week apart, per worming in order to break the life cycle of the worms. As for how they stay worm free, I don't know that they do. If they are free-range, they are constantly picking up new worm eggs...

    Ok to wait out a Broody hen?

    Thank you for the advice! I had put a cold egg under her last night, (before I saw these replies, and desperate to do something) and as of this morning, she had rolled it out of the nest and was walking around the chicken yard. So, I'm crossing my fingers she has returned to normal. If not...

    Ok to wait out a Broody hen?

    We had a hen go broody this afternoon. We don't have a rooster, so eggs are unfertilized. The last few days, we have been able to get her out of the nest, and she would go about her day acting like a normal chicken, but today was different. She made a beeline straight back to the nest after we...

    dog got chicken

    Hi all! My dog got one of my chickens this afternoon. In all fairness, the chicken flew over BOTH gates that we have, letting herself into the main backyard. She has no cuts or wounds that I can find. She was pretty tramatized, but after getting some water in her and feeding her a peach, she...

    Top Ten Worming and Wormer Misinformations - Graphic Pictures!

    That's a great article. I was worried about getting it "down the wrong pipe", so it was very helpful. I know it's best if I give them each their correct dose individually, but for my own sanity, and the sake of my chickens, who at the moment don't trust me, is it possible to mix the total...

    Thanks! In my stress about the situation I spaced it that Valbazen is only one day. I will print this out and put it with my chicken notes. I am very grateful for you sharing your knowledge! My eight birds are so skiddish and the last three days haven't gone well with worming. I've tried bread...

    Top Ten Worming and Wormer Misinformations - Graphic Pictures!

    Am I correct in understanding that next time, it will just be 5 days Valbazen, then time after that 5 days safeguard, etc., rotating every few months, (not saying do one, followed immediately by the other - I mean 6 months inbetween) and with doing 5 days, I don't ever have to re-dose 2 weeks...

    Top Ten Worming and Wormer Misinformations - Graphic Pictures!

    Awesome thread! I just read through all 19 pages, and wanted to make sure I'm understanding what I need to do correctly. 2 weeks ago, I found a round worm in one of my 4month old chickens poop, so I did Wazine in their water for a whole day, and today (14 days later) I started treating each...

    Worming for first time - please double check my plan!

    Thanks! This sounds like it will be interesting to attempt. I do think it will be easier than trying to catch each one and squirt the meds in their mouths, but I might change my mind about that assumption!

    Worming for first time - please double check my plan!

    Thank you both so much! I am so glad I asked, especially about the safeguard. Since it should not be put in water, and my chickens are pretty skidish, can I go the bread route that I have read about where I put the 1/2 cc in a small piece of bread and each gets one? Is there a good way to make...

    Help! Foamy yellow diarrhea

    I'm so sorry! I'm new to keeping chickens, but one of my chickens has had similar poop and today she had a round worm in her poop. So it might be worms, but I really don't know. :( Search this forum for poop chart and maybe try The Chicken Chick website. This forum and her site have been...

    Worming for first time - please double check my plan!

    If it's not one thing with my pullets, it another! Today, one of them had a spaghetti looking worm in her poop. I'm assuming its round worms, and was able to get ahold of wazine from the feed store. I have spent hours reading all of the posts on deworming, and I think I have a good plan of...

    First time chicken mama in AZ

    I have a few different kinds of mutt pullets. The father is a pure breed rooster that starts with a W, and has the huge green tail and blond hackle feathers. I can't remember the name - sorry! He's the kind you see in all of the folk art involving roosters. He's beautiful! The moms are either...

    First time chicken mama in AZ

    You guys are all so helpful and nice! Thanks for the great tips - I will definitely use them as the weather starts to heat up. Yesterday turned out to be a super stressful chicken day, as we ended up taking half our flock back to the breeder because they were roosters! I was watching for it, as...

    Is Minnie Baby (and her sisters), a "Minnie" or a "Mickey"?

    Thanks! I decided to hang on to Betsy and give her a few more weeks. I did take the other 4 back. It's funny, now that I know what coloring and behavior to watch for, I could totally tell that the other 4 were cockerels. And the guy I got them from thought so too when I took them back this...
