Worming... but with a twist...

[Makareina]

Good Morning! I need to ask another worming question, not about chickens though, about my new turkey poults and my ducks and geese.

I wormed my chickens with Eprinex two days ago, now I want to do my geese, ducks and new biddy turkeys. The geese are adult, the ducks as well, and the turkeys are 9 weeks old. I'm less concerned about the biddy turkeys... except that the whole flock looked quite dull.

Thanks again for your time. I promise that my next question will be more interesting. Well... at least I'll try, no guarantees with the amount of sleep I've been getting lately!

Oh, and while I have you... the last few days I've noticed some of my younger chickens have some orange mucousy stuff in their poop. I examined it closely this morning... (That's what I do for fun around here, I examine "stuff" closely.), and it doesn't resemble what I would expect is blood, it's just the color orange, no doubt. Nobody seems "off", they are all eating, pooping, drinking, pooping, sleeping, pooping, playing, pooping, looking really good, and of course... pooping. I just don't have a frame of reference. It's almost as though I've been ramping up the carotene in their diets or something... except that the orange bits are mucousy.

Thanks yet again... I am grateful for your help.
