Thanks for the compliments! When it is zero degrees outside (like today), feeding and hauling water gets tough. A pat on the back is nice!

ivermectin, it gets most types of worms. Wazine gets only one.

If the poop dries, you can usually break it up and pull it off.

When I have a bird that is really dirty behind I have to go over it and look for mites. If you see even 1 mite you have to treat it. Sevin dust, pymethrine, or my preferred method wash in flea and tick shampoo.

Wash them, dry them with a hair dryer and put them back in the coop when they are COMPLETELY dry.

Ivermectin pour-on, use about 4 drops on a bantam. It's very hard to overdose with Ivermectin.
