    Tapeworms?

    Thank you so much for your advice. I appreciate the timely responses. I'm rather anxious about all of this, so your help is greatly appreciated. I did spend about an hour and a half with my birds. I know one for sure has them, another I suspect. The others, I couldn't catch in the act. But...

    Tapeworms?

    Thank you. I read another of your posts where you talked about isolating chickens for treatment. I guess I'll be spending a few hours on poop patrol. I had thought about treating all chickens since I have never wormed prior. Is there great harm? I know some people worm as a regular...

    Tapeworms?

    Thank you, just went out into the yard and inspected more poop. One piece had a segment that was moving. Since I've never dewormed my chickens, I'm going to go with your frequent advice to use Valbazen. I'm going to do some more research. Do you have tips for treating the yard? Is there...

    Tapeworms?

    I have a question. I'm seeing something like these white segments in my chicken's droppings, but it's not moving. Does this indicate tapeworms? I have 6 bantams and am only noticing it in one or two droppings a day (this is the second day). Chickens have two coops, a 100 sq ft enclosed run, and...

    Treating yard/Permethrin/Foraging

    Thank you. So far, we've treated them with Advantage Multi (I believe), we've also treated areas in the house. We might do the permethrin dip for them if necessary.

    Treating yard/Permethrin/Foraging

    Hello all. I live in a rural area of North Texas. We have two dogs along with our ducks. The dogs have been itching non-stop. Vet told us they have fleas (although we haven't seen any on them). We think we have fleas in the yard or some other biting insect (chiggers?). Along with that we...
