I have 26 chickens, barred rock, americauna, while leghorn, Rhode island reds and australopes. They are about 7 mo. old molting above tail feathers, eat and drink well, do grooming, but I keep seeing some droppings with small white almost like rice size white things, alot in some droppings. I believe they are worms. They do not move they are not thread like, and I have no vet here that does a fecal exam for chickens.........HELP!!!! My girls lay eggs daily though are not producing as many only 12-16 eggs a day. They are active they are in an enclosed pen about 28'x30'. They are on dirt. Their hen house floor, which is one piece vinyl with shavings is cleaned daily with 1/4 new shavings added each day. Nests are cleaned, railings cleaned, new food twice day with greens, veggies, fruit, and plain yogurt given alternately two to three times week. Water cleaned and filled twice day. So probably born with parasite or ate something beetle or? Anyway I want to worm them, I bought wazine 17 but directions for large flock and I only have 26. Anyone can give me dosage to give in water, and do I hold feed ? I love my girls and respect them I do not want to harm them so any advice I would greatly appreciate. I will throw eggs away after for 14 days or longer if needed.
