First, apologies to Bill Shakespeare. The question remains the same.
I have fourteen females. Five hens are four years old. Five Brahmas are 18 months old. Four girls are five months old. My girls are all in the midst of a molt (even the youngsters). The old gals are in the midst of an UGLY molt. We are taking naked fannies and bare breasts. The Brahma girls are just starting their first adult molt and are already showing signs that it’s gonna be a major naked Woodstock. The Littles have only lost a few feathers and I don’t expect much from them.
Someone, no idea who, has roundworms. I found a pile of dead worms and poop right outside the pop door this morning. I want to dose everyone with a wormer in their water. (Most of my girls don’t eat bread and I have a type of palsy that wouldn’t allow me to catch and dose fourteen birds.) I don’t care that my girls won’t have show quality feathers, but I am concerned that they stay warm this winter.
Any suggestions from you guys with more experience? This is the first time I’ve seen worms in any of my current birds (none in my previous flocks either). Should I dose everyone now or wait til the majority of the molt is over?
I have ivermectin and Safe-Guard, so could use either or neither.
