    Loose poop a problem?

    Hello all and Happy Almost New Year! I’m turning again to my favorite community for some health assessment and advise. The past few weeks I’ve noticed some atypical poops on the poop board.

    I think my hens have gapeworm HELP

    Hi! I think my birdies have gapeworm and, being organic I'm not sure what to do. The chickens will constantly shake their heads and don't seem to have other respiratory issues so gapeworm is right where my head went- I attached a video of the chickens below. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks

    Moxidextrin/Praziquantel (Quest-Plus) for tapeworms?

    Is anybody familiar with the use of this product, Quest-Plus Equine Gel, to worm their chickens? The Farmers Coop didn't carry the Equimax that I was recommended. Wondering if anyone knows the dosing for chickens, is it the same as with the Equimax? It does still have praziquantel in it but...

    Emergency/disease

    I have a twelve chicken flock. My buff orpington, Patty was not in the roost the other night when I went to close the coop door. We had recently got a new lighting setup for my coop, and I figured it just needed to be adjusted and it was too dark for her to want to jump onto a roost. So I picked...

    Eating my ducks eggs?!

    one of my ducks has recently just started laying eggs. However for a while they were indoors and are now outside and so have not wormed them yet! I was just wondering if it is still safe to eat the eggs if my duck has not been wormed yet or should I wait until after they have been wormed? I have...

    Hello! My dear Brahma Aster has a very pale comb. Can this be caused by molting? She's at the tail end of her molt (no pun intended). Or should I go ahead and treat for worms just to err on the safe side? Some additional info: 1 yr old Buff Brahma Eating, drinking, acting normally Not laying...

    Sick BO Pullet - Please Help

    Our 5 1/2 month old BO Pullet has very gradually started to act ill. It was tough to notice at first. First we noticed her growing lack of interest in food. While the other girls were always bottom-up eating at whatever food was around, she'd be off by herself--not lethargic, still boisterous...

    Help! I'm at a loss on this one as I have never experienced it before. Half of my chickens face was swollen. I started with Vetericyn, then benadryl (1 dose), then Terramycin (7 days). It has been 11 days since the swelling started. It has decreased, but it's not gone. I pulled 'something'...

    Dusty quail egg?

    I recently got a weird looking egg from one of my button quail hens. It's blotchy in color, and I thought at first it was dusty. I tried to wipe it off, but the blueish whitish color remained. Her eggs are usually the reddish tan color you can see between the blotches in the picture. Does this...

    What are these creatures?

    So there's a few chickens who sleep ontop a tall stack of drawers and there's a box ontop and they all sleep ontop around it. Left it there for some months, so during those few months it filled up with their poop and I just cleaned it out today. But there were these bugs/grubs/insects? Living...
