It is so cool. For blie eggs I still have another CL, an EE, an Ameraucana, and a Sapphire that I i waiting for eggs from to see what they are like. I am also waiting for my HRIR, but they will of course be brown.
Any coop work today? How are the traps working?

Uggums has been taken to bed. I have to wait until it is pretty dark, or she will sneak back onto the porch. The little pooper.

Not sure why she has to be here every night. Maybe she likes sleeping by the dog. Missy sleeps right there by the door.

Hi All!

I have a building I use as a 4 way coop.  2 bottom shelves have outdoor access, and 2 top shelves do not.  I recently reorganized and moved all the babies out of the top 2 shelves.  I didn't clean them right away.  It's been about 2 1/2 weeks since I emptied the birds, and as I tried to clean it this morning.I took out the bricks that had been holding the water containers.  The hay and poo that was behind the brick was still a little damp - I had knocked over the water container when I was catching the babies to move them.  I found small, thin, white worms crawling around in the poo.  

I spent the day looking at fresh poo - no sign of worms.  The bulk of the babies that I took out of that coop are in the mobile pen I moved over to a friend's house.  I've been keeping an eye on those chicks since I only get over there twice a day - I have seen no signs of worms.  The poo was a little runny the first couple of days, considering the move and the heat wave we've been going through.  But, the last week or so, it's been normal.

So, do I de-worm all the chickens, or do I just add some ACV to the water?  Just because it was in an empty coop, does that mean the chickens are infested?

Thanks!!!

Worms are always found in chicken, we,as chicken owners, need yo keep the LOAD of them low as possible! And that by acting in 2 levels
A. The most important one, is PREVENTING by good management and using ACV, hot peppers, ect ect.
B. When the load become to heavy you need to treat with antihelmintic substance
And I think that if you have seen them by naked eye( assuming they aren't something else ) it is the time to take out the heavy canons!

Wouldn't it be possible,especially with the heat, that the worms found the poo and didnt actually come out of the chicks with the poo, especially if you've not seen any other signs of worms on your chicks? Were they maggots? Flies could have laid eggs in that poo.

Nope. The trapping isn't happening in all this rain.
