I’ve been trying for a while to get to the bottom of my hen’s health issue(s). I’m baffled.
Symptoms in Buff Orpington hen (rescue, roughly 4-5 yrs old):
Watery poop with white streaks or dark green mass (new symptom, past few days)
Worms or worm-like matter in some of the watery poop (new...
I clean my chickens coop once a week and while cleaning out the poop I noticed worms! 🤮 This is my first time dealing with this and I don’t know what kind they are. Someone please help! What are they and what do I do??
Hi everyone,
I have a sick hen, her comb and wattle are very light colored, she's listless, I'm not certain she is eating or drinking (I have food and water available.)Her poop is very runny, like egg whites, with a green slimy slug of poo in it. I suspect that she has some worms. I have added...
Hello. I have 3 adult hens who I have had to treat yearly for roundworms. This has been confirmed by fecal float in the past though I did not take a sample in this year because the only vet around me that will test a sample requires me to bring the chicken in for an exam as well which is quite...

I have a 3 year old (this spring) golden comet that has been sick for about 2 days now. She has been walking around slightly upright with her head kind of tucked back into her neck. I noticed yesterday late afternoon water leaking from her mouth so I checked her crop and it felt squishy and airy...
Hi guys. I’ve been asking a few questions the last few months on her about my hen who’s been having a lot of problems, and I really appreciate the help so far.
Last night she tried to lay a very thin egg (she had an infection in her oviduct, this is her second attempt at an egg since I treated...
I'm skeptical of my math abilities and I'm worried about massively overdosing my flock due to miscalculation (x the unforgivingly high concentration of safeguard aquasol).
I bought a small portion of safeguard aquasol, which is otherwise very expensive because it's typically used for...
I have not wormed my girls since getting them as chicks in Sept 2022. I have not seen any in their poop and everyone is happy and healthy. They will be free ranging more when the weather turns nicer so I am thinking I should stay ahead of it and worm them as a preventative.
I have no clue what...
I have a flock of close to 80 birds which includes three turkey. Over the last few weeks they started displaying signs of respiratory issues. Also displayed text book style gape, worm gasping. I treated for Gape worms and it appeared they were getting better. Then signs of respiratory illness...
Hi everyone,
My 2.5 year old leghorn hen started molting earlier this fall and I was worried when they were taking a while to grow back since my other hens didn't really molt, but she seemed fine otherwise so I didn't worry. Her feathers did start growing back, but I guess they never fully did...
I have 3 hens, and one of them has feather loss on her chest/neck and belly. It doesn’t always look red, but sometimes it looks REAAAAALLY red. For example when i took the attatched photos, ten minutes earlier it wasn’t red at all, and then it looked like that. Ive wormed them and given them...
Recently I’ve been noticing some unusual poop in my coop. It’s runny and yellow/green and a few of my hens bottoms have been getting dirty. One of my hens has completely stopped laying and her face is looking a bit pale. Is it possible that she has worms? How do you tell if that is the issues...
I apologize in advance for the length and for any future clarification questions. I am terrified of making things worse due to thinking I understand and being wrong.
I have 4 chickens and a rooster. When I got them mid July they were this year's hens to my understanding and seemed very healthy...
Hi!
I don't have any ducks currently but I plan to get some in the future. For the time being I am learning all I can in hopes to be a good duck owner. I have been reading about ducks getting worms, treating worms, about the dewormers. However I can't seem to find any tips on preventing worms in...
Hi -
I occasionally get freaked out by what may just be chalaza in my eggs, then I find myself researching worms and never coming to a concrete answer. Regardless of what this is, should I treat my chickens anyways? What should I use? I went thru their poop this morning and it just looked like...
Hi everyone. I have a year old hen who has sour crop. Approx 2 months ago I noticed one of my other hens started to lay some soft shell eggs. I immediately realized something was wrong. She was eating, drinking and acting normally otherwise. Poop was also normal. I hadn’t wormed the girls in a...
So I have two problems with my chickens! of course.
Problem #1, earlier today I picked up one of my silkie chicks to check it for PB(I got two silkie chicks from a breeder a few days ago) and I saw a little white bug crawling on her! At first i thought it was mites but mites are usually...
