I used 1 cc syringe that I just stuck into the end of the safeguard paste. I pressed gently on the paste syringe while drawing it up into the 1 c syringe. Then I poked it into the middle of the bread squares and grabbed one bird at a time and fed it to them outside of the run and stuck them into...

It did not, unfortunately. I took our ailing rooster Orion to a vet (finally found one that would see poultry) after three days of the neomycin and no improvement. The vet found a high number of protozoan activity, and sent me home with five days of Metronidazole. He only made it to day 3 before...

I just wanted to add an update to this for anyone finding themselves in a similar predicament. I treated twice with Safeguard, once and then again this past Tuesday which was 10 days after the initial treatment. I used between 0.6-0.7 cc equine paste per bird, given in a piece of bread for the...

I was under the impression that if they had worms, I would at least occasionally see some in their poop. Should I use the Safeguard paste now, or use Wazine in their water first?

Why specifically do you think it is worms, since I have not seen any?

I hope someone can help me piece together this puzzle and tell me what to do. I have spent thousands and so much time on these birds and am heartbroken about not being able to help them. Since last fall my flock of bantam cochins has shown the following symptoms: - very watery diarrhea (photo...
