Hi!
I suspect that my 3ish month old coturnix quail might have worms. After about a weekish of stress (she was being bullied - its been fixed now) I noticed her poops started to get watery and a little lighter. Hoping it was just a reaction to stress I decided to wait it out. That was some...
Hi, I'm hoping someone can help!
I've had chickens for a couple of years and this is the first time I saw a worm in one of the eggs. I just found out that my husband also saw one of these a week ago. This particular egg had a softer shell and lighter colored.
Recently my chickens have...
Hey again. Stuff just keeps happening and I'm not getting a break, lol.
Found some roundworms in my adult turkey's poop this morning. The first time I've ever seen a wormy poop in the 5 years of owning any birds, and I only have seen that one. I did a loop around the open ground of the yard...
Hello all…I’m a long time reader, but first time poster. I created an account just for this question specifically because I am stumped.
This week, one of my hens took a sudden decline. She lost weight, stopped eating, became lethargic and listless, and hasn’t been laying eggs. Her poop has...
Hello All,
Am relatively new to keeping chickens. Have three. Since two days ago noticed 'worms' in some of the faeces, particularly in the evenings. Want to be sure that we treat this correctly. Would appreciate help identifying the type of worms and possible treatments. Thanks in...
So I got my hybrid chicken 2 weeks ago 1 of them is fine. But the other one is kinda weird. She often stretch her neck and I use to saw her vomit (only 2 time) and today she make a wheezing noice. Despite those symptoms, she is fine. She eat and drink normally and don't seem depress. Any idea...
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...
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...
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...
I keep getting infected with pinworms, i do not own chickens but I receive eggs from my friend who also visits me often, I am trying to find the source of my pinworms and need to know if my friends chickens could possibly carry them. Also if I need to tell my friend to treat her chickens for...
Ok so I have no idea what’s going on it’s hard to get a picture but I tried I’m think maybe a worm or just pus I been cleaning it and putting VET RX on it I’m scared to pull it out because it’s a worm I don’t want it to stay in there but if it’s pus I don’t mind pulling it out it was super...
Hey everyone!
I have 3 lovely 1 year old bantam silkie chickens and have noticed that one (my lovely Repecka) has lost a significant amount of weight, has lost her soft fluffy appearance and rather, her feathers/fur looks matted and feels rough no matter how many times I bathe her. She is also...
Hi all, we have a sick girl at the moment who we believe has gapeworm. She has been wheezy in her breathing and croaky in her voice. She has been mostly breathing normally (not opening her beak) but she has just spat up some mucus which we believe had red worms in it indicating gapeworm.
We...
We have 6 Pearl Guinea Fowl (4 male, 2 female). One of our females has become noticeably skinny with some ruffled or loose downing feathers over a 2 day time span. She is acting pretty normal, still on her feet, running around, eating feed, etc. I'm just worried about the dramatic size...
Can anyone confirm the effectiveness of DE in feed for worming? I've read putting some in feed once a month is an effective all around worming treatment. Any truth to that?
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 have a chicken from an auction I believe is around 2 months old. She or he (idk yet) is getting over cocciadstat and on day 3 of corid water. She is getting better with that and is eating and drinking but I think she has gapeworm. What can I do it's late at night and the breathing has...
Help! New chicken mom and my 4 day old girl from tractor supply just diarrheaed this out. Is this a worm? How do I treat this? Do I treat the others?.... and my 2 year old has been handling them (but washing hands right after) do I need to worry?
I am sick right now as I may have poisoned one of my hens. :hit
I was on the last day of worm ing with fenben (10% goat solution). Today I found one of my hens dead - she died in her sleep. The fenben is the only suspect. She was my largest so the least likely to get enough of an overdose to...
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...
