Hi Everyone,
I just thought that my girls had cocci and treated them with 5 days of amprol in the water. Though am still finding light red/pinkish stuff in their droppings.
I found what looked to be a roundworm in one of the feces when i was cleaning the roost. It was about 2 inches long, white, thin. We pulled it apart and a long yellow "thread" came out of it. There were no signs of eggs in the feces. Could this be a roundworm? The girls all act and look fine and only one was found so far. Can roundworm be passed to humans? We ate the eggs that were laid becasue we didnt think that it was a worm. But knnow im wondering.... Are we now infected if one of the girls are?
What can i treat them with? Or are the eggs of a hen with roundworm still edable?
Also one of my younger girls has had a "raspy" voice for the past few weeks or longer. It does not seem to have an effect in her. She has put on weight and is active. She cannot cluck loudly like the others. Im just worried that this might be gapeworm? Is there anyway i can test to see if this is what she has?
I am very worried as a first timer! PLEASE HELP ME!
