I’m baaaack! Can someone tell me if these are worms or???
Thanks

They are not round worms. They might be tapeworms. You need to figure it out though. since different worm medicine treats them.

Look at internet images or take a sample to a vet. Do not tell them it is chicken poo though

Thanks. I do believe that it is tape worms. How the heck do chickens get them? Can my dog and cats get infected?
I ordered some Equimax.

Probably from wild animals. From what I have seen on BYC, tapeworms in chickens are fairly rare.

How are things going other than the worms?

All is good here. I have 7 hens now, all 1 yo or less.
DH and I just bought a small piece of land in the mountains and we are going to build an off grid cabin on it.
Covid free so far. And you?? How are you guys doing?

Congrats on the new place! Does off grid mean we won't be hearing from you any more? Hope not!
Covid free here. Hubs has been working from home since last March. He saves over an hour every day without the drive... the silver lining.

We will have cell service there. And... we found out that power can easily be done. Our neighbor has power. It’s a very different place to live. Mail is delivered by boat. We are excited to get started but... the road in isn’t passable for another month.

No, its not the phone rings in the shower or buying eggs. Its how much you want them to lay. The more anxious you are the longer they'll hold out. Go out to them and say "I don't care if you never lay an egg". Say it with meaning for a couple of weeks and sure enough they'll believe you, and start to lay.

Lol I see you dropped that "couple of weeks" strategically into your reply. Smooth move. LOL
