    Bloody poop from new chickens

    We just brought home 3 new chickens on May 22 to join our one lonely hen. I’ve since noticed runny poop and now bloody poop. I have an idea which it may be coming from (one of the 8 week olds), and based on what I’ve read it is probably coccidiosis or worms. Should I treat all the hens with...

    Thin white worms in chicken’s old water - is this a concern?

    I swapped out an old dish waterer for a nipple setup for my chickens about a week ago. They are 5 month old Black Australorpes and are just starting to lay. After taking the old waterer dish away, I left it in the sun and did not clean it for about a week (lazy, I know!) as I planned to throw...

    Worms????

    Hello everyone. This evening in my dogs poo, this was on it. I did not touch them, I got it on to a leaf with a stick. Are these tapeworms? Are my chickens and geese at risk as well? Do I need to worm everyone?

    What’s wrong with them???

    Please help! I noticed that one of my girls had a very light pink comb, googled and it said it could be worms. Ordered homeovet wormer, administered it in their water. But now another one of my girls from a separate coop has a floppy comb and isn’t wanting to eat. I dusted them and their coops...

    I hate bugs!

    I know they are part of the food chain, but I just want them to stay far away from me. In Florida it was the giant flying cockroaches and huge spiders. If you have poultry, then you likely know about mites and lice. Mosquitoes and ticks are the ones that torment us most in VA. Tell me which...
