I have a chicken Big Momma that has vent gleet, and realizing it is probably because she also has sour crop. I have isolated her and treating for that. I also have a few other chickens that have a little bit of poopy butt. But not nearly as bad as big momma. I wasnt sure if it was because of the roos? or if they have something else going on. I dont see any signs of lice/mites... and I have recently cleaned out the coop.
Is it possible they could have worms? I have wondered that in the past, but everyone acts so normal and the poopy butt is new as of recent. I wasnt sure previously if I wanted to do it as a preventative if they didnt need it.
So today I decided to deworm just in case...
My other question is, I bought safeguard 5x. and gave each chicken one today. I have read a ton of different posts about safeguard. Now that I have read, I see the dosing is different as it only has 6.7 mL of safeguard. The instructions say dose now and then in 10 days, unless the case is more severe. Should I go get the goat safeguard and dose for 2 more days, and then in 10 again?
or should I just keep doing the safeguard 5x and do the once (as the 5x bottle says) and then again in 10 days? advice appreciated
