Pullet with yellow Urate

[casportpony]

Thank you for your input. Is there a wormer you would recommend?

If you're in the US your the best to use is Valbazen or Safeguard.

I use Flubenol 5% for my flock 1,2g per kg/food for 7 consecutive days as this also works for tapeworms etc.

We cannot get that here in the US.

After deworming the bedding etc. should be replaced completely and all their feeding troughs and water dispenser etc. disinfected and thoroughly cleaned.

Blackhead (histomoniasis) is rare in chickens, but they do get it, and you don't have to have turkeys or peafowl for them to get it.

What did her ceca look like?

I did a bit of reading, and Avian TB has similar symptoms? Minus the sulfer colored poop. I guess I really won't know unless I send it in?

Have Safeguard, but how do I go about treating the whole flock? I have about 20 of these chicks, but nearby I also have about 50 or so hens. I'd like to eventually worm them too?

I didn't do a very thorough necro on her, just only saw her liver, kidneys, and a bit of the intestine. Is it worth cutting that up to see?

For me the sulfur colored poop of your pullet made the distinction. But you could send it in anyway, just to be sure.

Edit: And she was a bit too young to be that sick from Avian TB.

With that many I think you should get a bottle of Valbazen. How much do your 70 birds weigh? Just take a guess.

If it's histomoniasis the ceca will be diseased looking, so yes, it's worth looking at.

I have pictures if you want to compare.
