    Tapeworm

    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...

    Continued from Part II Part III. Under the Microscope Arguably the most difficult part of this whole process is understanding what you are seeing through the microscope lens.

    Lice!

    So I got a rescued racing homer pigeon the other week, and today I was handing him as normal when I got home from work and I felt something crawling on me. It was two long, thin bugs. I googled, and sure enough, they're feather lice. They look exactly like this...

    Proper method for quarantine/treating half feral chick before flock integration

    I ended up with a barnyard mix chick that I think has been living a half feral life (long story). What are the steps I need to do to quarantine and make sure this chick doesnt get/transfer any bad coccidia/parasites, etc.? Im thinking medicated feed, a few pinches of prozap under the wings and...

    Chickens Feathers are Turning Up?

    Hey all! Yesterday I let my hens out, and I decided to pick up one of our old girls and hold her for a bit. She’s a 10-year old Easter Egger named Camilla. She relaxed way easier than she usually does. She hasn’t enjoyed being held since she was 4 or 5. Then I noticed all of her feathers...

    Betta sickness or something like that.. I need help

    Okay, so I noticed some odd behavior from one of my Betta fish three days ago, she would stay in the same spot of the tank for hours and hours. Then something started coming out of where her egg spot normally is, but it doesn’t quite look like poop and it’s not eggs. I don’t know what to do, I...

    Quail died, need help diagnosing

    Hey everybody, Unfortunately I found one of my button quail dead this morning, and I'd like to see if there are any signs I should look for with the body to make sure it wasn't a disease or parasite that the other quail in the cage could get. I thought the cause might have been dehydration...

    Mites or Lice? What do I use?

    I will get a photo as soon as I can! Our Silkie rooster, Silver, has some sort of parasite on him. There are white egg like things by his ears and I've noticed weird looking bugs that end up on my arms sometimes after I've held him. Later today my dad and I will be going to Pioneer Feed to get...

    What the heck is this!? Tick? Tumor? Wart? Growth?

    I found this "something" on my 2.5 year old chicken's tail next to the oil gland and at first thought it was a tick but it's under the skin and slightly exposed. It's very hard and you can tell it's larger under the skin (like a small iceberg). Any thoughts on what the heck it is and if I need...

    Disgusting worm in hen’s poop

    i just found this beneath the roosting bar in my coop. It looks like some kind of a roundworm and it’s big!....maybe three inches long. Any thoughts? I’ve never actually dewormed my chicken but I have given them Diotomaceous earth in their feed intermittently over the summer and I use apple...

    Help! Chicken losing feather, but not molting and no external parasites

    I have racked my brain on what's going on with my 2 year old araucana (pictures included). About a month ago she started losing feathers (and I noticed many of her remaining feathers were brittle) but was still laying normally, running around with the other chickens, and eating and drinking...

    At my wits end, lots of different illness symptoms in my flock.

    I’ll start off by admitting, I was sloppy about quarantining new birds from my old ones. I brought home three new silkies from a poultry swap a few weeks ago (one adult hen, one pullet, and a young roo that I THOUGHT was a pullet :rolleyes: it’s so hard to tell with silkies.) I threw them in...
