Is that from the hen or group of hens that did this? -Kathy

yes

That was the only other odd poop in the run or board

Like I said in the pm, it said not to give it to weak birds and since I still have three dealing with ms, I was waiting since it was the only odd poop I have seen.

For those that think Safeguard at 3 cc in a gallon for 3 days works. This is a 3 month old peachick.

Do you have any Safeguard?

These birds are all young April to Aug of last year so I was told I could start my twice a year this spring. That's testimate on why to do more. Especially when you consider there have not been any domestic birds on my land in the 13 years I have been here in a new coop. Another reason for chicks over 13 +/- week pullets.

It may be one of the three I will have to cull anyway instead of selling as egg layers only to a closed flock. I can't trust that they will stay a closed flock do to the price of eggs and chicks.

FWIW, I have used Safeguard on some really sick birds and it hasn't killed them. Problem is that if there is a huge die off it could cause a blockage. Not sure what the best wormer to use in this case would be.

Another option is pyrantel pamoate, which you can get at Petsmart or Petco in the dog and cat sections.

No need to wait until they are 13 weeks old. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but birds even younger can get worms.
