Thanks so much.

What do you treat an eye infection with? My roo was recovering from fowl pox and developed an eye infection in one eye. I gave him tylan 50 by mouth. Is it OK to put a drop of it in the affected eye as well? Is there something better I can use?

um, does anyone know if the "cous cous" is supposed to move? the little things i see in my chicken poo do in fact move if you care to look at them for long enough. they scrunch up then straighten out then scrunch up again. so gross. is that tape worm? or am i dealing with something else.
sorry for the threadjack, please let me know if i should post this somewhere else.

I have no clue what 'cous cous' is. Do you think they might be fly maggots moving in the poop? If they are tapeworms, you'll need to buy Valbazen(albendazole.) It's a cattle/sheep wormer. If it's not at your feed store, you can buy it from Jefferslivestock.com Dosage is 1/2cc for standard size and 1/4cc for smaller chickens. Give it to them orally.

i've read some previous posts about valbazen and i've seen the above link before too. what my chickens have looks very much like white grains of sand in their poo, they are very small, but when you look closer they move like i described before. i thought fly maggots would be bigger. if i treat with valbazen will that pretty much take care of any worm infestation?
