worms

Hi Everyone: I want to plant Milkweed to help with the Monarch butterfly population, however, I've heard it is toxic? And that the butterflies create worms that can be poisonous. So, will the chickens go after them? And will it be harmful? Thanks

HI! I have been hearing conflicting evidence on whether DE works for controlling mites, lice, and worms and things of that sort, does it work or is it just a waste of money and if it doesn't work why is that? Thanks!

Anyone have good tips on worming a large number of birds? Obviously I could dose them one by one, but I am looking for suggestions on anything that can be added to water or feed. *This is not because they are having problems currently, but since they are all being housed closely for winter I...

Hi I went in to my chickens coop this morning and I looked on The floor and I saw this. It looks like worms in a pile of bloody poo there was more but I must've stepped on it. Can anyone tell me what this means and how to treat it

So I have 11 EES that are 24 weeks old and 7 EES that are 13 weeks old and all of them have runny poo, since I've had them..I thought gapeworm cause I've seen some of the older ones look like a yawn every now and then but I dunno, doesn't seem bad if its that.. I have no clue so I came here to...

My chicken has been lethargic for about 3 days now. I noticed it first when her balance was a little off. It has since gotten a little worse. She is able to walk, eat, and drink, but her balance is not great. Yesterday I noticed some mites and lice so treated her for that. Her belly seemed a bit...

Help ..I gave my chickens wazine for worms about 10 days ago. I just notice a bunch of lice on my rooster crawling on his tail feathers. Is it safe to put ivermec on them??

On August 2nd 2020 we noticed my silkie hen acting lethargic with her feathers puffed and not necessarily tending to her then 4ish week old chick. We treated the whole flock with Corid as we suspected coccidiosis and after 48 hours there were no improvements with her conditions so we stopped...

I have a 1 yo silkie hen who 3 days ago has started showing some startling symptoms, which look like coccidiosis or some other kind of worm/parasite. She is lethargic, puffy feathers, she crouches outside with her head under her wings, she walks very slowly and the times Ive seen her poop...

I have a silkie hen, mom to 1 chick who’s about 4 weeks old. I noticed yesterday evening she was still and if she did walk it was very slow. She stayed on the nest extra long this morning, I brought her out and she took a few steps before taking a normal looking poop. I haven’t seen her eat or...

I had a chicken that recently died- while I was doing a post mort I found these worms in her hospital bedding and around her vent. I looked online but couldn’t identify them- do any of you more experienced chicken owners know what type of worms these are and how to protect the rest of my flock?

I'm in a byc local group and this has been a debate all day with over 100 comments. I figured I'd bring it to the experts lol. These are not my pictures. Is this some sort of worm or leaked egg whites from a hole in the egg?

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...

About a week ago i noticed my 3 month old porcelain d'uccle rooster had tiny white worms in his poop. I counted 2 or 3 and they were about a centimeter long. I decided to use Valbazen dewormer. I gave him half the correct dosage to start with and the next day I noticed he was a little wobbly...

I am still kind of new to the chicken world. My first and my little baby girl Nugget (profile picture) has not pooped in awhile. Lost a lot of weight, lethargic, and it keeps getting worse as the weeks go on. I’ve kept her separate from the other chickens in my flock for two days now and when I...

Hi all! I need a de-wormer ASAP. Our flock definitely has parasites of some kind as two have died in the past week after making wheezing noises and shaking their heads and necks. Gapeworm?? Any Canadians here that can recommend a brand to try for treating our entire flock? We’re in Ontario...

My Coturnix Quail hen was accidentally fed putrid mealworms! Some canned mealworms (mealworms canned in juice from petstore for birds and reptiles) had been left out for a few days at least and a nephew got a hold of them and fed them to the quail! These worms were pretty bad. I fear the...

I’m leaning towards plant matter for whatever these hair like things are, but what do I know really? This is from a goose that has been acting off lately, not feeling well, quiet, slow to follow the others, not as hungry as usual. So I decided to worm “albendazol” and I get these weird...

My approximately 1 year old Ameraucana, Nettle, hasn't been her usual self this week. I let all my hens (6 total) out of their coop/run every morning, but yesterday and the day before Nettle had little energy. She would come out and just plop down in the grass while everyone else scratched...
