@StellaBeann Also as a sidenote, about deworming... Treating with smeared paste on treats was not enjoyable and time consuming or downright ineffective considering the suspicious stink eyes I'd get from my little flock of 3 (now 8). With our recent roundworm deworming treatment, we decided to...
Sorry to hear your hen is dealing with this! I don't have much of an answer, aside from using the corid and dewormer appropriately. My hen that had this is apparently a frequent flyer with this stuff (and worms in general - since I just had a bout of roundworms with her), and aside from that she...
Thanks @coach723! Dosage was correctly calculated and I have been treating the whole flock, so I'm good on that. So last night was the last first round dosage, now I wait 10 days for second dosage for potential eggs?
Found roundworms in my 2 year old hen's poop Tuesday am (figured out it was her by checking who was roosting where through the night). I treated the whole flock with Safeguard equine paste Tues pm, Weds pm and Thurs pm. She has passed a worm nearly each night, and last night she passed 2. They...
Been a busy bee but I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their summer!
Quick question... Place I work at has some roosters from a straight run that desperately need processed (they're harassing hens and not keepers), wondering if there's anyone/place around here (Lehigh Valley) that would...
I just got home with the Rooster Booster purchased.
Should she be separated? At this point, my flock has most likely already been exposed, I'm coming to terms with that. Other than close monitoring, what would be the point of separation? Doing the buddy system quarantine doesn't work too well...
Thank you. Nutri-drench is what I had on hand last night. I am at TSC right now and they only have Rooster Booster Vitamins & Electrolytes w/Lacto Bacillus and Durvet Vitamins & Electrolytes.
Thank you for your response. I was really hoping it wasn't the big scary M word... We are up on a hill above a valley with plenty of wind, birds and an unfortunate frustrating battle with rat(s) for the past few weeks...
I have her along with 4 chick-mates in a coop sectioned off in my mature...
Prada, my 3 month old CCL, is struggling to walk, and I'm not quite sure if it's a slipped tendon, sprain or something else... X-posted this to the FB forum last night with not much response, hoping to have better luck here...
She was on chick starter when I got her in April until I moved them...
Rat is still around. I'm going to hardware cloth apron the entire underside of the sheed/coop when I get the chance. For now I'll keep up my new nighttime routine of removing chick's feeder from outside and securing the big coop's "summer door".
On another note... Any animal track...
Well, I guess it's time to setup a trap for this bugger. I refuse to use poison around my coop/property, and it's not present in the daytime since the first day I chased it around so I can't sit and wait to target it. So do you think I could just set the trap up at the end of the hole with some...
@Lelanae I'm going to check the run tonight when I lock up, to compare it to tomorrow am. I also bought this to plug 1 into the coop, the garage and also in our house - can't hurt right? :fl
Here's a shot of the new chicks from @dheltzel from a few minutes ago! The Zebrina is hiding this...
I hope everyone and their flocks are doing well! Finally spring has sprung (kind of)!
Pic spam :D
My babies from you @dheltzel! The CCL was outside (no pictures please!) They're already bigger from this photo, I'll have to get more later.

Cross posting here ISO opinions because I'm leery of trying something new when it comes to using medical products on my chickies... :oops:

@dheltzel My little welbar, Cricket, seems to be having some minor eye...
@azygous Just wanted to make sure before I try this... Are either of these okay?
After I got home from the store I remembered that I have these little saline packs for my netipot, could this work as well?
TIA!
:hit I'll try it out and hope it helps.
I have their treat block strung up and she is happily pecking away at that, so maybe she can see and her eyes are just irritated... :fl
Thanks again!
