I lost my 18 month old Delaware. She laid pinkish eggs. The poor gal has been through lots. First she had an impacted crop which I got under control, then she moulted and then the tapeworms showed up.
Took samples of poo to the vet who agreed it was tapeworms. I wormed all the girls with Panacur that the vet recommended and that seemed to fix most of the girls. I then wormed with Valbazen and that took care of everyone but my Del. She just couldn't shake it.She was losing weight and I tried to get her weight up with scrambled egg, etc. I then got I-Gold but it was too late. I came home from work, said hello to her and she passed right after she looked at me. Hopefully the rest of the year will be good.
Just sad to lose one. I know eventually they will pass, but I didn't think this soon.
I don't mind naming them. Hubby doesn't remember their names anyhow....it's the black one, or the pretty one, etc. He does know Daisy, the BO, as he named her.
Planning on more little ones next week and the week after to take care of. Gotta get the brooder ready this weekend. I am getting excited for babies again.
