Yes, that is the one I was following. Haven't been there in awhile, but I did remember that you were keeping the prize in your frig! LOL

Kathy, is that dead chicken still in the back of your frig?? LOL If it is, you both could have a field day looking at bacterias!

Being on wire does NOT prevent birds from getting worms. **Edited by Staff**

OH....and this one too!! Excellent....Excellent! Thanks so much!

I have never actually seen a worm in my birds poop. But from having the poop tested occasionally, they have had them over all these years. Small amounts. I would love to be able to test for them myself. Is this one in this link powerful enough to view worms? I would imagine if you have actually...

This is true. And if your vet does not understand how to test for capillary worms, it could very well be that the birds to have them, and you would never know. Ok then Kathy....you need to get all the supplies on hand, do all the necessary research into how it is done, and test your birds...

Kathy, I have always known you were a "mad scientist". LOL I have never done fecal testing myself. I have always found it easier to get it tested, although I have never had any real serious worm problems here. Round worms are the only worms I have ever had to deal with. And even then, at this...

This is on the same line as another poster had suggested as well. Great link as well Kathy!

Kathy, you are not picking a fight. :-) I am thrilled to know that it does kill tapes! I never knew this and now I know! Good, because now I can recommend Safeguard for tapes in quail. Thanks Kathy.....Leyla :-)

SCgamebirds, the best thing you could do here is to do a test on your own birds. Plain and simple. Have your birds poop tested for worms. If any are present, then use DE for what ever time period you feel necessary, then have your birds poop retested, and then come back here and post the...

A bee bee sized dose of Safegauard is the recommended dosage for quail. Repeat in 10-12 days. :-)

I crow a lot about a lot of things. And will continue to do so. In the future should you have an illness in your flock or some issue that "someone you trust" is not helping you out with, I will be sure to never advise you again. If you lose your entire flock, so be it. If you continue with...

And what about liver flukes, lung worms, crop and esohegeal/gape worms...how is the DE going to get to these places passing thru the GI tract? I need some real proof please. Edit to add: There was a guy on here about 1 1/2 or 2 years ago that kept Bobwhite quail. That year, his birds were...

My problem with DE is that it IS a controversial issue. Some people swear by it, others claim it does nothing when wet. So on this note, I would never trust it to rid an infestation in my birds. I want more proof than what a vet tells me. Maybe you should do a test with it. Have your birds...

Welcome to BYC and the quail forums! The safest chemical wormer that does the least damage to birds is Wazine. It only takes care of round worms in the intestines, however round worms are the most common of worm in poultry. Wazine does not kill the worms, but it paralyzes them and the birds...
