    Good dewormer?

    I found some wazine on amazon. Does anyone know the withdrawl period as the are laying hens. I know the bottle says only for meat chickens but I'm sure I could use it for laying hens as long as I waited the proper time.

    Crop full of air

    Ok guys the day after my chickens got inspected she died suddenly. It was air and she had this problem for over a year. She was pooping normally I don’t think she was paying much.

    Hen waddling with swollen belly

    Unfortunately I cannot do the dosing 3x/day so I may just stick with the sub q for right now unless someone advises for im. I can’t get that other drug readily where I live. I’ll have to take her to a vet then get a script and those are really to pricey. I don’t like the idea throwing random abx...

    Hen waddling with swollen belly

    Thanks you guys. I hope she heals from this but I think these things come back even if I treat her. As long as she remains active I’m ok with draining her belly every now and again to keep her comfy. But if she starts to get worse I’ll do the humane thing and cull her. :(

    Hen waddling with swollen belly

    Good news bad news. I drained about 80-100 ml of clear fluid off her belly. I will try and drain from another site tomorrow. It was not yellow or even tinted yellow so I am not sure what the cause is. Hopefully I can drain it and it will go away but I doubt that is the case. Any thoughts?
