Hi all, Quick follow-up post. Is it sometimes the case, that after you start treating with Flubenvet (in this case via these), you get a dump of worms in their poop? It is just the case that last night the girl thatwe think is most affected by these large round worm produced these poops -...

Thank you @dawg53 and @AidKD.

Hi BYC, Hopefully a simple post. Do these pictures look like they have a large roundworm (ascaridia galli) in them to you? (final image above from Damerow) Thanks

Thank you @Eggcessive and @dawg53. Ah. Yes. That makes sense. Intestinal lining, not worms. And lining both, could be normal, or be a warning sign of something else if in larger chunks (from Damerow [image attached]). To you, are these larger chunks or not? For me, it's hard to tell. I...

Thank you @Shadrach. Incredibly useful. I'll try this and report back.

Thank you @Sequel. I look forward to @Shadrach or anyone else's input.

Hi all, Just wanted to report back on this issue from last year. So we sent off some of her poop to the chicken vet and it came back with signs of "Capillaria" eggs. (image 00). We started a weeks course of Flubenvet pellets (image 02) and repeated again one month later as per the...

Thanks for the quick response @Eggcessive. Great questions. > What does she normally eat? Normal pellets. And she free ranges, so things in the garden that the other 2 girls also have access to. > Do you feed treats? In the evening, they tend to get a small number of oats, and some Vermex...

Hi BYC, I'd really value your thoughts. In our small flock, we have a black rock chicken. She is about 18 months old. She seems healthy and active. She enjoys her food. She is laying. Healthwise many things are good. But during the night, she sometimes does some crazy poop. She will produce...

Thanks all. @coach723 @MGG Yes, really interested that the Wyandotte originated and was standardised in America... but Barred seems to be a UK thing. Thanks @Vickischics Will do. The Vaseline on her comb is already improving the look of it.

Always grateful for the replies BYC. Thank you. First... (and somewhat unexpectedly), on her breed! :) @Phantom_k9 @coach723 @MGG So Barred Wyandotte's seem to be recognized by the Poultry Club of Great Britain: https://www.poultryclub.org/breeds/chickens/soft-feather-heavy/wyandotte/ And...

We think so! A barred Wyandotte.

Hi all, Any thoughts about what is going on with our Wyandotte? TLDR: She injured her left leg over six months ago which she copes with. Now has odd build up on her right leg. 1) What type of bird, age and weight. Type: Wyandotte. Age: Approaching 5 yrs. Weight: Normal (2.5kg). Comparison to...

Thanks all. As ever really useful comments. Its seems some hens just have stickier, thicker bloom.

Hi all, Quick question. Attached are two photos of an egg from one of our chickens (a Rhode Island Red) in the nest box. First shot - top of egg. Second shot - egg rotated to reveal the bottom. Notice the chippings of hemp stuck to it. (we use Aubiose Hemp Bedding in the boxes). We have 3...

Hi BYC community, Can I get your thoughts? In the summer, our oldest hen, a two and a half year old Wyandotte (otherwise in good health), had what we thought were some signs of Scaly Leg. We tried to treat it by covering her legs in Vaseline on a few seperate occassions. We took a picture of...

Thank you all for your replies. Thanks @ChickenCanoe. No, the bird isn't limping... but has always spent some time standing on one foot or the other when standing still. Tell me, when you say: "an application of echinacea, hypericum and calendula creams" is that three seperate creams or one...

Hi BYC community, Normal forum info provided below the photos, but in summary our guess is that this is bumblefoot - but we just wanted to check. It seems to be on both feet and also in multiple places... and partly because of this it doesn't seem like all the other bumblefoot pictures we've...

Hi BYC community, Your thoughts please. One of our chickens has a swelling under her eye. It's been there for a while. It seems to be getting a little bigger. She seems happy, healthy and is laying. But we're wondering about the swelling and what to do about it. Would it, for example, be...

Thank you @Eggcessive. And thank you @speckledhen. Great video.
