So I might get to go to Morganton. Who else is going and is there a place that BYC'ers are meeting up? Maybe we could wear BYC tags/pins. I really hope I get to meet some of yall!
HenThymes that boy is just beautiful

I love blue colored chickens! If my silkies were older I'd take him.

We have a new addition to the family a very cute lionheaded rabbit 10wks old, got to find him a girlfriend, hehe.

Hope everyone had a great day!

I will tentatively be there, I'm expecting my first litter of English lops, so if she decides to hold out on me I won't be attending...first litter and I'm nervous about her.

Morning all !


I am posted this link on parasites & worming. Found it last night while searching for some worming info. Please...when you have a chance read through this. I have bookmarked it for myself.

Cleaning out the coop yesterday I noticed roundworms.

I JUST wormed my whole flock in Sept. I thought this was strange. I have lost several younger birds and have been concerned that something is going on. I have a lot of crows around lately,I was wondering if they passed something to my chickens. Well , now I know. They STILL have worms & roundworms no less.

In my research.... I found out that Ivomecin products DO NOT KILL WORMS IN CHICKENS

Yes ...works on mites & such, but not worms.

Of course that is what I have been using. I will be out this morning to pick up some Valbazan. This works on almost all worms.

Valbazan..... give ORALLY 1/2 cc for LF and 1/4 cc for bantams. REPEAT in 10 days. So no eggs for approx. 24 days. I am FINE with that, I need to clean up this mess.

IF YOUR BIRDS TOUCH THE GROUND THEY WILL GET WORMS/PARASITE. THEY NEED TO BE TREATED ON A REGULAR SCHEDULE.

Please if you get a chance read that thread, it is very informative.

Hey Beth, sorry to hear your troubles but glad you found the remedy!

 

[HenThymes]

Beth - did some questioning and found out what this marans girl really is (from the same eggs that you had gotten).... She is actually a "Gold Duckwing"!!

A color not out there yet that Bev Davis is still working on.

I have this pullet and 4 more in a brooder. Sold the rooster I thought was wheaten (actually gold duckwing

) so hoping one of the 4 in the brooder is a cockerel.
