One this morning. Jade was sitting no. It. I’m afraid she needs broody jail again.
When I cleaned their coop, I noticed a couple worms in their droppings. In a dog I’d say roundworms. Like tiny earthworms. I haven’t noticed anyone being out of sorts, except their eggs have been strange lately.

Round worms can get into eggs - something you cannot un-see!

I suggest worming with Panocur.

13 eggs today. One was from my wee silkie pullet, have not idea where the OEGB bantam is laying her eggs. Maybe she isn’t laying anymore with winter coming on…. ?

Thanks! I was planning to find out the best treatment for that. It’s my first rodeo with any kind of worms in the girls.

Safeguard Goat Dewormer (Fenbendazole) or Valbazen (Albendazole) are both good dewormers. Valbazen is better to use for molting hens since Safeguard can affect the feathers as they’re growing in.

Dosage for Safeguard is 0.23ml per pound of weight. You can give it once and repeat again in 10 days to treat for roundworms only, or for 5 days in a row to get everything but tapeworms.
Dosage for Valbazen is 0.08ml per pound of weight. Give it one time, and repeat again in 10 days. That should get most worms.
Of course, these have to be given orally to each individual bird.

I hear ya, I have had horses for decades so I know about internal parasites! There is nothing so gruesome as a young horse you rescue and when you worm it they poop out half a bucket of ascarids (round worms) - no wonder the poor horse was so skinny!

I have also had my chooks poop out worms after I worm them so now I make sure to do them a couple times a year - they are digging up all sorts of stuff outside….

1 egg today, from Août.

We had a scare this morning where Août had blood in her droppings. No other symptoms, she was behaving completely normally. We watched her all day, taking turns, and all her subsequent droppings were blood-free. I’m going to get a fecal float test done at our vet on Tuesday just to be sure it isn’t worms, but I think it was just a lot of intestinal shed. I’ve never seen so much before from my girls, so it freaked us both out.

My Dominiques comforted me while I watched Août in the run. I had one on each leg, snuggled under an arm. They don’t normally get along, Marzo is terrified of Juin, but I guess she’s fine so long as she doesn’t make eye contact. When my husband took his shift, they both hopped in his lap too

0 from my Betty frizzle for some days now ... she usually lays every other day unlike her two daughters who have not laid since I sold the Araucana several weeks ago now. Bitter birds
