Hi all!
I need a de-wormer ASAP. Our flock definitely has parasites of some kind as two have died in the past week after making wheezing noises and shaking their heads and necks. Gapeworm??
Any Canadians here that can recommend a brand to try for treating our entire flock? We’re in Ontario...
Hi everyone!
I suspect parasites or worms in my small flock of 7 hens. We just unexpectedly lost one of our girls yesterday, and the others are beginning to have pale combs, and lustreless feathers.
Does anyone have any suggestions for treating the entire flock as a preventative measure? I was...
I know there’s a lot of deworming threads but I read through a bunch and couldn’t find anything about putting dewormer in water. Can you put safeguard for goats in water? Or is there another dewormer that works that you can put in their water source? My flock is small but I have some birds who...
I found this company the other day and thought I would share the information for those that are unable afford an expensive vet visit. They do fecal floats and have lab services for parasite diagnosis.

Hey!
I want to deworm my ducks before winter. I don't see any symptoms, but just want to be safe :)
Does anyone have any suggestions for doing it at home, naturally? I do cayenne pepper and shredded carrots for my chickens, which I have heard works. Not sure if that works for ducks, too?
Thanks...
I have a two-year-old girl who we thought was egg bound. While giving her an Epson salt bath we noticed a ton of worms in the water. I went to my local supply store and picked up the only wormer that I could find which was Zyfend A. I am planning on starting the treatment with the whole flock...
We have reason to believe our beloved Roo has gapeworms. Anyone ever experience and successfully treat? I’m REALLY trying to help him at home before going to the avian vet as it’s terrible hard to get an appt right now with things the way they are. I’m very worried as he’s wheezing and gasping...
Hi. My chicken has been recently been treated for tapeworm, maybe a month ago, and today he had tape segments in his poop again. I wormed him using worm out gel 50ml and that worked. I was wondering if I can use it again in less than the three months treatment period safely? He is about 3 months...

My flock is doing well and healthy - laying nicely. However, I was wondering - should I deworm regularly? Only if they seem ill? What is the protocol for this? I want to keep my ladies healthy and happy. Thanks! Jenn K - Michigan
Every time it rains I lose chickens! It never fails. Since starting to raise chickens in the spring I have lost over half of my flock. I’m not just talking about a few, I’ve lost 20 plus total! They will be perfectly fine one day, eating and drinking normally and dead the next day!
I am fed up...
Just found out our roommate's dog (4 months old, never had a vet appointment and is a Rez dog, aka no prenatal care or puppy care) has round worms. He poops in the backyard where my entire flock free ranges. I'm furious, I'd rather get rid of the dog but it's not my decision so now I need to...
We have a flock of 7 Orpingtons that we got on Christmas for our toddler. She got poop on her hand the other day and I've had enough pets to understand that they have tapeworm, confirmed by a few chicken owner friends. I've been to 3 farm & feed stores and talked to several people on what I...
