Hi

[Robin with chickens]

Hi ya' all. I have been caring for my backyard chicks since they were illegal but now legal in my suburb. I need to be able to reach out to a kindred heart about issues. Glad to be able to part of this group.

Hi, it's nice to have you here with us! If you need help with a health issue, you can post over on the ER forum: Emergencies / Diseases / Injuries and Cures

Best wishes!

Does anyone know exactly how many drops of safe guard dewormer for goats to put in a quart of water for my girls? I don't know if they have worms but a couple of them have had diarrhea recently and there's lots of poo on their eggs when they lay them. I have never dewormed my chicks. I lost one recently due to poo hanging on her bottom (even though I have been cleaning her) and she developed an infection then fly strike. Horrible!!! My poor baby. I feel so responsible.

None. It is not miscible with water. You have to dose each chicken indvidually.

Welcome to the coop! Wow, I would love to see some pics of you flock! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies!
