    three week old chicks with worms

    We have four chicks we bought that seem to have worms. I noticed today what looked like a worm egg in some runny poop. If they do have worms, what can we can give them if the chicks are only about three weeks old? I've read you can put crushed garlic in their water. TIA!

    Something killing our chickens

    Thank you; I pray she will be the last. The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh... On a positive note, the other RIRs have begun laying again since we've given them the copper sulfate. :)

    Something killing our chickens

    I bought the ACS from Jeffers on Thursday and they shipped it the same day. I got it on Saturday and started it with all of the chickens. This chicken did not make it though. Thanks for all the help from everyone :)

    Can you eat eggs of chickens on acidified copper sulfate?

    Thanks for the article reference. I found a few -- very few -- other threads about it. It seems that since it is a nutritional supplement, it would be safe, but I was hoping to find something definitive.

    Can you eat eggs of chickens on acidified copper sulfate?

    We are putting a quarter teaspoon of acidified copper sulfate in our chicken's water for a fungal infection. I can't find a source or an article about whether you can still eat the eggs or if you should toss them. Can anyone answer this / have experience with this?

    Something killing our chickens

    I got the full report back and spoke to the tech in the lab and he said that there were equal numbers of gram- and gram+ bacteria in the feces. So I asked it if could be respiratory since her feces are now a bright green and watery. He said it could be fungal and gave me the name and number of...

    Something killing our chickens

    My husband let the chickens out this morning and he said she was still in the coop after all the other chickens had gone out so he picked her up. He couldn't tell if her crop was empty but he could tell that she has lost weight. I also noticed that her poop was a brighter green than just what...

    Something killing our chickens

    I sent a sample to the BADDL for a fecal -- they are doing tests for both parasitic and bacterial infections. I am waiting to hear back about the Salmonella, but the report so far finds no parasitic infections and states that they do not see any bacteria they wouldn't expect to find in...

    Something killing our chickens

    First chicken symptoms: Red streaks in legs, feet stayed cold. Mushy poop that turned watery just before she died. Lost a lot of weight and would fall and just stay there (just before she died). She (and all the other RIRs except one) stopped laying when the weather started turning cold about a...

    Something killing our chickens

    Thank you for the poultry lab info. It's layer feed. And thanks for the info about the oyster shell and grit -- we had added it because the RIRs eggs were breaking in the nesting boxes, and the shells seemed thin. We have buffs and we have RIR / Jungle fowl mix -- all of which have eggs with...

    Something killing our chickens

    We haven't given the third chicken any antibiotics yet -- that was for the second chicken but it was too late. We are in Florida and the chickens will be 3 years old in May. I'm not sure if the first one had an issue with her crop -- she ate right up until she died, but she would, in a sense...

    Something killing our chickens

    We need some help in figuring out what is moving through our flock. Some symptoms are the same, but not all. The first chicken we lost had these symptoms: red streaks in her legs, her legs were always cold, she started to always have messy poop, she lost a lot of weight, and she would keep her...

    Hen has separated herself from flock

    Thanks for the link; I already have that page up and read through about half of it before the weekend; it's pretty lengthy :). We do have at least 3 containers of water, all in the shade for them, one with their food in the coop. And I change them out in the late afternoon. But I never thought...

    Hen has separated herself from flock

    We checked her crop and it was empty. We also checked to see if she was egg bound and we didn't feel one. She is acting completely normal and her color is bright red where it should be. I'm watching the hens more closely and she seems to be fine with them. We do have one hen who is becoming...

    Hen has separated herself from flock

    We have an almost 2 yr old hen who I noticed yesterday was staying away from the rest of the hens. She wouldn't even come when I called them for scratch. She didn't seem interested at all. She ate from my hand a few hours later, but then last night we saw her "throw up" some white stuff. Her...
