    Treating suspected tapeworm

    Hi dawg53, thank you for your suggestions. I will try the rice but buttermilk is not readily available here in Aus. I don't suppose you know of any substitutes? I have been giving them ACV in their water on and off and garlic too.

    Treating suspected tapeworm

    Hi dawg53, many thanks again for your help before with the tapeworms. It has been just over a week and I have not seen the fragments since worming. Coming up to the second dosage soon, I have noticed the hen that had the problem still has a pale comb. Her poos for the most part have looked more...

    Treating suspected tapeworm

    Hi dawg53, many thanks again! The manufacturer advised 10 days but I'll do the 4 extra as you have suggested. So almost a month after the second dose! I hate to throw the eggs but hope that the shells can at least be useful in the garden. Looking forward to having the chickens back to full...

    Treating suspected tapeworm

    Thanks so much dawg53! Do you think it is ok to go ahead with the Avitrol Plus now given that the other wormer also had Levamisole in it? It was only 3-4 days ago that they had a dose of that one.

    Treating suspected tapeworm

    Hello! I am a fairly new owner of chickens and suspect that at least one of my two hens has tapeworms. She had diarrhoea for around a week, I started putting apple cider vinegar in the water as I heard that can help and then started noticing rice like fragments in her poop. The diarrhea was...
