Thanks. Can I ask you one - or actually two - more questions. On the Safeguard, do I re-worm again in 10 days? How long do I withhold eggs. I'm thinking 21 days from the final dose? BTW, really appreciate all your help. When the vet said he didn't know what to treat the worms with I told...

Lucy is gone. My husband and son put her out of her misery. Yesterday around 4:00 PM she went to the nesting box and never left it. Her comb was shriveled up to almost nothing and she refused both food and water. It was obvious that she was fading fast. She'd been too good a gal to let linger...

Thanks, Dawg, I've put buttermilk on the grocery list. Have been giving her scrambled egg and she's been eating some of it but not much. Her crop felt modestly full last night when we re-wormed so I'm thinking she's eating from the hanging feeder when I'm not watching. Hope so. Fingers crossed!!

Not quite sure what to make of this. I wormed her with Valbazen a week ago yesterday. I only saw evidence of a few thready worms in her droppings the day after we wormed her. She never really "perked up" as I expected she would. Some days seemed better than others for her. One day she'd...

Thanks, Dawg, I appreciate your help and will pick up one of the wormers you recommend.

We do deep litter and I know I'll need to totally clean out their house and run, which I planned on doing anyway since it's spring. Or, trying to be spring. I've got to get that done before the 10-day dose but we've got 4 days of rain on us right now. Hopefully the rain will be over when they...

WELL, I COULD JUST KICK MY OWN BUTT!!! For the past 6 months I've been preaching "Get your chicken's poop tested if you don't know what's wrong" yet I failed to do that one simple thing in this case. I learned that valuable lesson when one of my girls got spirochetes and they almost did her...

Oh, my, I sure don't know what would be the cause of the green feet. Maybe someone else will have an idea. Lucy was first out the door this morning. Wasn't interested too much in her feed but took great interest in strawberry tops and chopped up spinach. She's acting alert this morning. Will...

That's what I'm thinking, too. Especially when her comb first took a purplish tinge. The purple color went away and now it's pale and flaccid. I'm afraid it's either heart or a cancer of some type, neither of which I can do anything about. Thankfully, she doesn't seem to be in pain as I...

Lucy is a 2 1/2 yr. old red sex link. She's my lead hen and has consistently laid an egg almost daily for the past two years. She will miss 1 or 2 days a month. She has always looked like the devil with straggly worn-out feathers - she has never had a proper molt - but is the first out the door...
