Maybe I'll dust first and just watch them for another week? I haven't seen any worms, but they have pale combs. After vitamins and tylan I'm not really sure what else to do.

Pale combs are from the foul pox. It takes a while for it to turn Dark red again. Pam

Alright, I've got almost a gallon of pasturized milk from the store. It has a slight ting of going off. Can I do anything with it other than make into buttermilk or give to the chickens?

I have nothing. Buttermilk is how I uae it. I would give some to my dogs now before buttermilk. You could make crem fresh. It's been along time since I made it. Google how to make it. Pam

You could make a big batch of cornbread to eat now and freeze for later things like cornbread dressing. Or you could parcel out the milk and freeze it for future, smaller batches of baking or buttermilk.

Maybe a big pot of potato soup?

We go through a ton of milk, so even "slightly off" wouldn't last long here.

How do you know they have worms? Pam

Well, I don't. But by a flip of the same coin, how do I know they don't?

I've seen LOTS of open-mouthed neck stretching, which makes me think of gape worm. I've read it's not that common, but I kind of just have that sort of luck with chickens. I bought the safeguard paste because they say it's practically impossible to overdose them, and with the correct course of treatment it kills every kind of worm.

I've never wormed them, but with our dogs, woods, and wet ground I'd almost be surprised if they didn't. How would wormer react with their gut bacteria? I could dust for mites, give probiotics, and worm in a few weeks depending on how things look.

I agree that they've been through a lot lately. All but the two look great. I even saw the rooster mount a hen today, which is always a good sign. :D

THIS is my BIGGEST fear.

You can now buy a home worm test for chickens now then you would know. Instead of treating without knowing. Like I said foul pox makes their combs lose that healthy dark red color. Pam
