    Hi--After seeing some worms in one of my chicken's poo, I had a fecal test done (when I was at the vet for 2 other unrelated issues). The test came back positive for roundworms and the vet prescribed Safeguard goat dewormer 10% suspension. She told me to dose all my chickens (they weigh around...

    Hi! I'm dosing my chickens with safeguard aquasol. I bought a small amount via ebay since it's otherwise extremely expensive (it's manufactured for massive farm/factory flocks).

    Deworming Hens Without Worms?

    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...
