    Feathers missing from neck

    He’s been separated a few days. My son thinks they (these hens) are starting to look better. Which to me, I was shocked it had been worse than it is now.

    Feathers missing from neck

    Two hens are suddenly (within a week) missing feathers from their necks. We thought it was from the roo pulling during mating, so he is separated. Hens act normal, are laying, eating, playing, etc. Whatever the cause, it has not yet affected the rest of the flock. Any ideas what it could be...

    DE, Lime, pine?

    I’m in south east US. Nine hens, as said in OP. I originally posted this in coop maintenance so hope it didn’t sound like I wanted a whole bunch of advice on worming. Just wondering if there’s any need to treat a dirt-floor coop after worming, and if so what works. Thanks!

    DE, Lime, pine?

    I was thinking any concentration of bleach that could kill parasitic eggs would likely be too strong for the hens. For the DE, I thought it might help dry it out in there? Thanks.

    DE, Lime, pine?

It’s a converted swing set wooden playhouse; there are four windows and the door is open during the day, but no way does the sunlight penetrate all the nooks and...

    Wormer dose

    I spent the better part of Monday trying to determine the type of worm. I feel pretty sure it’s NOT tapeworm. Other than that, idk. They don’t look big enough to be roundworms, and I can only see them in the liquid part of the poo. They are visible to the naked eye, maybe 1/2 in long, thin...

    Wormer dose

    Yes. And I’m not comfortable opening their beaks like that. It freaks us all out: me, then hen, and my son holding the hen.😩

    Wormer dose

    Thanks for the replies. We have been giving it orally, six hens have to be held and force open their beaks. I’m afraid I might hurt them doing this, or push the med into their trachea. The three that will eat bread are much easier. I was hoping for a way that was less traumatic for all of us.

    Wormer dose

    Hi, we have Safeguard fo worm our nine girls. Yesterday we tried to give it to them in bread, only three took it, six wouldn’t even look at the bread. Today planning on putting it in the waterer. Do we adjust the 3cc per gallon dose for the number of chickens? So, I was giving 1/2cc per hen...
