Poop Question

[arast]

Hi there- the past couple of days one of my hens has been pooping a strange color- like a pale caramel. Is this normal or is there something amiss? Thank you! (Trying to post a picture)

Looks like foamy cecal poop.
When's the last time you wormed your flock?

Oh good…thank you. I have never wormed them. I have never seen any worms or signs that they have them. I’m not even sure I’d know how to worm them…

For deworming, you can use Safeguard or Valabazen.

You can find Safeguard Liquid Goat Dewormer at TSC. Dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.

Valbazen can be ordered online, dose is 0.08ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days.

Thank you! How, exactly, do you orally administer wormer to a chicken…?

This medicine will not treat the tapeworms.
