I noticed that my hens' poo has tapeworms in it :( and was wondering about a few dewormers, which I have researched....
Ivermectin
Does it treat/help with tapeworms? Some sources said Ivermectin did not treat tapeworms.
Will it affect my few currently molting hens?
Safe-guard (Fenbendazole)...
I'm in a bit of a bind. During the last month or so of summer a few of my chickens started to have laying issues (weird shell-less, soft shelled, and otherwise wonky eggs; illness before laying a weird egg, then no eggs but acting like laying; suspected internal laying). It's been such a...
BYC fam,
Saw at my local TSC, and curious if anyone has used on poultry? It has a list of ingredients in the pictures. I know garlic and other herbs like oregano have been used, but unsure about some of the others? Thoughts?
would be wanting to use on chicken and geese mixed feed.
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...
Have been raising chickens for 3 years and never have felt a need to deworm any of them. About 2 months ago we hatched 30 new ones, which are about 7 weeks old now and one of the chicks showing what I believe a sign of worms in a form of droopy wings and not gaining weight at the same pace as...
Found 3 roundworms in my silkie's poop. I purchased a Safeguard dewormer that kills the roundworms, but it's currently in the shipping. In the mean time, I administered homeovet Avian WRM clear (Attached below) in the last 24 hours. I haven't seen any worms come out since, so I am not sure if I...
I recently noticed droppings with shed intestinal lining in them (pinkish strands that look like raw meat). My 7 hens are about 15 months old and have never been wormed. They are eating and drinking normally, and otherwise their droppings look good. I haven't found the culprit of the couple...
Hi all,
I've just dewormed my flock of silkies with safegaurd. I understand there is a 14 day withdrawal period (which will turn into about a month after the second application in 10 days). I'm looking for some uses for the eggs that are laid during this time. Can I scramble them and feed them...
Hi friends,
before i opened the door to the duck-house this morning i noticed a couple of worms, drowned in that mud puddle in front of the porch. Forgot to take a picture due to a half working brain and by the time i came back the ducks had already stirred up the puddle, so nothing to see...
Hello all!
Recently, my poor hen, Onyx, died of an impacted crop. However, at the vet, the doctor said that she might have also had worms. We didn't run any tests because I thought it would be silly to test a dead bird (I'd instead test my only other hen, Lacey) but is it safe to assume that...
Hi,
I had some questions about deworming with levamisole. I recently bought levamisole from a drugstore for my ducks spring deworming.
This morning i added it to their water and they’ve been drinking it ever since. I was just searching more about side effects of it. I read this in an article “...
We have 17 chickens and I noticed one in particular had a bare bum. After separating her from the flock and quarantining her, I took her to a vet who diagnosed her with worms. I treated her and the rest of the flock with Wazine 17 for 24 hours. That was about 4 days ago. I'm currently...
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
Hello everyone!
So, I have 2 girls Tooki (7 weeks old) and Brownie (5 weeks old). After getting Tooki's poop tested a few days back and finding out that she had worm eggs in her stool, I dewormed both her and her sister yesterday and today with Albendazole.
I had to repeat again today at the...
Hello fellow duck slaves! Haha
I am wondering what everyone does in terms of Deworming their ducks in Las Vegas? Are there any parasites or diseases that I should be aware of? Just trying to take preventative measures. Thank you! :-)
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...
I'm going to give the chickens Diactamous Earth or whatever its called, also garlic, and also apple cider vinaegar. should I also give them a general antibiotic, or no? Also, I'm getting Wazine for the deworming, how should i give it to the chickens?
First time chicken momma and apparently the chickens bring out my anxiety lol.
My flock seems very healthy, but I just noticed a small wiggly worm in the fresh poop of one of my pullets. It seemed to be a round worm - I'm still trying to find out if any local vet offices could run a fecal...
I have 22 chickens who have round and tape worms. Ive never had thise problem before, so im new to deworming chickens.
Yesterday i used wazine in a gallon of water.
Can i use Zimecterin gold horse dewormer for the tapes worms? Also can i just put a certain amount it in the water rather then try...
I found out my girls have tape worm segments coming out in their poop, so i went to the feed store and the girl offered me only what they had which was Wazine. So in the morning i gave the girls 1 ounce in a gallon of water. And most of my girls look fine except for a couple who look weakish...
