Valbazen dosages?

Lash eggs can be cut open. If it is too hard, it must be a rock or something else.

Yeah I can’t cut through it. It is extremely hard in all areas. So that is good I guess. From all the pictures online. Lash egg seems to be “solid yet rubbery” and pus like. Everyone has been laying well before they slowed down for the winter.

I am going to start deworming them tomorrow… I am hoping for the best. I am going to try to locate a poultry vet to keep in my back pocket. There is always the local AG dept. But, I fear they will want to cull if they see anything even if it’s treatable. Idk I just am feeling overwhelmed and totally grossed out.

Could it be a river stone?

Interesting.

Sorry that you are feeling overwhelmed. Chickens having worms is somewhat common, just like with any other bird/animal.

You don't mention any of your hens being sick, just slowing down for winter. At 2years of age, this is also common for winter. Once we pass Winter Solstice on Dec 21st, daylight will begin to increase so you are getting over the hump. By mid January, this is generally when you start to see production in hens increase, or that has been my experience with hens over 18months.

My girls are all about 2years old. And they have all slowed down laying for the winter…

I have no clue! It is sooo weird.

My girls and boys seem pretty healthy. I try to keep my biosecurity tight and things clean.

They endured two major hurricanes, and some developed bumblefoot, which we just treated. This month we had a cold snap, with weather swinging from hot and humid to freezing. One rooster was off during the cold front with loose, greenish stools but is now back to normal. Recently, I found a couple of roundworms in one of my girls' poop.
