One of mine have roundworms. I saw them in poop. I did topical ivermectin a month or so ago then 7 days after another dose, but now I see them again and I gave 1 pea size amount of Safe Guard paste yesterday. Do you give it daily?
I have a Lavender Orpington rooster and barred rock hen. Hatched 3 of their eggs. One has a white dot on its head so think it is a roo. The other 2 are all black. Can't wait to see what they look like later.

Thank you for the suggestions. I will do that. My husband did the coop from a picture I showed him. I didn't know until later on that the run off should have been to the back. We put a gutter on it to try and help with that.
