Google fecal flotation.

Interesting. Guess I couldn't do it myself, then.

Anyone with a scope can do it, you just have to buy the fecal float solution, though having a centrifuge would also help.

Is it true you can use flubenvet1% twice a year as a preventative?

That's what it says on this website.

And this 20% will be the parasites stock that will infect your flock over and over again.

So the more room they have, the better, since there's less exposure to the infected droppings?

Insect from one hand are grate food source for them but there is always the tisk of infection! And the truth is that all chicken have parasites, the influence of them on the chicken is depending on their Load, and is dependent on the helth and the immune efficiency of the chicken immune system, instead on treating parasites invest in preventing from them to reach the load that make a damage.

What helps keep the immune system efficient? Cleanliness?

MINIMUM STRESS! =
Good and complete food
Good and clean water
Big space
Minimum flock member changing ( all in and all out policy )
Minimum connection with dogs, cats, little children
Minimum handeling
Extra vitamins and electrolytes in extreme weather
Extra probiotics = the best in my opinion fermenter feed
Un filterd ACV in the water.
A lot of greens and vegetables
Some exte materials that keep the parasites at bay - for me hot paprika
And imidiat treatment of any disease

Okay well he poop so thats a good sign!! I think. Hes a pekin/American duck mix. Im giving him a little bit of water brown sugar baking soda and salt mixter here and there his brooder is about 85 90 degrees. He seems to be getting better in time!

I do believe you might try upping the temperature five degrees or so.
