Thank you. We found a round worm several weeks ago but treated the flock with Safeguard. Just curious, how do you treat yours and is there a withdrawal period for eggs? Do you have a treatment schedule like preventative or is it when you see a worm ?
I wasn't sure where to post this question as I am pretty sure that my hen is healthy. She is laying, eating, and seems to be a happy member of the flock. Her butt, on the other hand has poop hanging from it. She doesn't seem bothered by it at all. Due to cold temps here in the North East, I...
