Hello, I've noticed nighttime poops from one of my hens intermittently has what looks like blood around the outside of the white part. She is going on 15 months old, otherwise acting healthy (normal appetite, normal energy levels, etc.).
Should I treat for cocci? I was planning to start...
- Having issues with an Olive Egger hen about 3 months old. I am a NEWBIE chicken keeper and really know nothing. I have 11 others of the same age...and all seem to be fine (eating and drinking and active). However....there is one that I am worried seems a little lethargic even though he is...
Hi Everyone- This girl started feeling ill a few weeks ago. It started presenting with loss of balance so I originally thought bumblefoot. Then her feathers started falling out. When I looked at her she had a ton of dander on her skin under the feathers. So I treated for lice/mites using...
Hello BYC community! This is my first thread 😊
FYI This is my first flock, so I wasn't aware of preventative worming. They were born at the beginning of May. The duckling in question, Lucky, was born a week or two after as the only survivor of his brood.
Lucky has shown symptoms of...
We recently dove back into the Chicken life. A friend told us about 4 rescue Reds that needed help, so I purchased a coop and attached run - and they have fenced free range as well. They have great food, clean water every day, treats, shade - nesting boxes etc - all the right stuff.
The first...
Around a day ago I noticed that one of my chickens has a bloated abdomen beneath her vent that feels like it is full of fluid. She has been having very watery diarrhea and is breathing heavy. Today her abdomen feels a little bigger and she looks painful. She will still eat and drink and her comb...
I’m posting this for a friend of mind, so I don’t have tons of info, but she spotted worms in one of her little chick’s droppings, and she needs help finding a de-wormer.
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 BYC community. I have a chicken with an impacted crop. I've been trying to get the impaction to pass, but I'm having a hard time. Massaging the crop and a mild laxative called Dulcolax aren't working. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I think I'm getting to the point where crop surgery...
Hi guys,
I'm attaching photo(s) of my silkie hens butt feathers. I gave her a bath 3-4 weeks ago since she had so much poop built up on her feathers and now it looks yucky again. This time almost stringy looking. All my chickens have been dewormed and treated for mites about 2 months ago. What...
This is what I was told today after taking a fecal sample to the vet for evaluation...
“Only 2 eggs found in the sample, low shedder, categorized as ‘adult chicken parasites’ told to monitor her for now instead of treat- due to how treatments can cause resistance in the parasites”
So basically...
hello all.
today when i went to free range my girls, my 11 month old dwarf colombian rock hen (never matured, doesn’t lay) was still sitting on the roost in the coop where she sleeps. i picked her up and soon noticed all the feathers near her vent wear soaking wet, vile smelling, and black...
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...

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...
I was wondering if someone could help me out. I picked up these 4 sex link hens that are supposedly 14 months old. The previous owner had 100 chickens running all over his yard. I’m concerned with the way their feather look and are missing in necks and backs. I just wanted to get someone’s...
So I’ve had trouble two times in the past with roundworms so bad I quit chickens for 2 years. I’m ready to start again-coop is has been bleached down several times. However I believe my ground is basically contaminated. I hate to coop away chicks but I can not go through it again. So...
Hi there! Just checking in - we have one of our girls in a short-term isolation due to being picked on and noticed something in her poop this morning (see images). Is this a worm? We don't have access to a fecal flotation through our vet right away and wondering if someone could tell by looking...
Hi all
Asking about worms or parasites please. I have a chicken who has been poorly for a while. It started off with a worm outbreak in my flock, I bought flubenvet infused feed, left them with just that for a week, repeated a month later and all was well except for this one chicken. She used...
