Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[WhoDatChick]

Remember the egg I showed yall with the weird calcium deposits? Well I keep getting them... the shells are soft to crack but have a very strong skin... I wonder if I need to switch feed to a layer feed with more calcium... they always have oyster shell available but apparently some are not eating it...

OK, I found the leftovers from last time. Not a pig wormer as I said. FIDO is the brand ~ cats & dogs.

For the oral treatment of roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms (including the hydatid tapeworm) in dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. Do not control heartworm. Contains praziquantel 50mg / tablet and fendendazole 500 mg / tablet. Available in 100 tablet

Hope that helps someone.​

So one of the ingredients is the goat wormer I have. Funny, in the states you are supposed to discard the eggs. I think that bears more researching.

Don't give them any other water. They will keep drinking it. How is their body language?

Good, they are happier together.

This is not an area I have expertise with. Maybe someone else can weigh in.

As a general rule we are stricter about that sort of thing than you are ~ but not my area, as we all know.

Companionship is so important with chickens. I don't think you should ever try to treat one alone unless it is absolutely necessary.

Do you have the electrolytes in the water as well?

That's why I was sure it was the other wormer. Maybe there has been a change. I will check later.

I worm once or twice a year, but If it's not needed I don't worm but once.

I’ve never wormed... is it necessary

If it's sold as a dog wormer, would it be labelled with withholding periods?

Looks pretty normal, they are looking good except for the bloody diarrhiah.
