    I found worms - now what?

    Hi all. I found worms in my chicken’s coop this morning. I’m new to raising chickens! There are only two hens that stay in this coop, and one has been laying sporadically so I’m assuming it’s her (both are around a yr and a half old). I know I need to worm them, but what do I use? I’m seeing a...

    How in the heck do you figure out the dosage for wormer?

    I bought safeguard pellets. Poultry DVM says chickens should have 50mg for 5 days. Well that works out to be .002 of an ounce for each chicken. I have 20 chickens and did the math. That doesn’t make any sense, how can you have 4% of an ounce for all 20 chickens? How in the heck does anyone...

    Chickens with worms - missed Valbazen dose #2 by 2 days

    Hello all! I noticed some worms on the chicken poop board around 2 weeks ago. I treated the entire flock (9 chickens) with 1 dose of Valbazen orally at 0.5 ml/chicken. I was supposed to give the second dose 10 days later, but I got distracted and missed the deadline by 2 days. Should I give...

    Summertime Wormer

    I was wondering if anyone had a summertime wormer recipe. I know there's a bit of a debate about the effectiveness of pumpkin; but that's a moot point this time of year. I've read that watermelon temporarily paralyses worms allowing them to pass through. They do love watermelon. If you have...

    Maggots on one of my girls.

    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...

    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...

    Backyard Chicken Zyfend A De-Wormer

    Has anyone heard of this “de-wormer” or uses it? It’s the only poultry de-wormer our Co-Op offers. There is no more wazine for sale. Is this Zyfend stuff worth anything?

    Wormed with safeguard but didn’t repeat the dose, should I worm again?

    Hello all, I recently wormed my chickens with safeguard equine paste, just did an approximate “pea” sized dose. They had visible roundworms in their droppings, which is why I wormed in the first place. However I’m reading in a few places that I should have repeated the dose two weeks after I...

    I have 14 chickens and 1 turkey that I plan to worm with Avitrol Plus. Not comfortable with crop administration. The water diluted dosage directions seem to be for individual caged birds.

    Composting horse manure with chickens

    Our compost pile is within the chicken run (half of the run is filled with ~2ft of fall leaves + some kitchen scraps). Would it be a bad idea to add some horse manure/bedding to the pile for the purpose of helping to compost it including eliminating any residual seeds and to use it in the garden...
