Parasite Identity Chart

[Eggcessive]

I thought of starting a new thread, but perhaps you and others on this one could just suggest what type of microscope is affordable but still works to identify diseases and parasites in chicken poop. I don't have an issue but if there's no veterinarian for people to take a fecal sample to, then I think someone should come up with a decent way for us to do one ourselves.

That info would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Oh my gosh. I searched for posts and didn't see this. It's awesome and so informative. Sue did a great job with explaining it and pictures as well. Thank you so much!
