Thank you so much. I’m curious how often members in warm climates deworm and what they rotate with. @dawg53 @coach723 I would love to hear from you about this! What’s your process?
Follow up questions:
My Pullets have never been in the main run but their space is attached to the run. Do I need to treat them as well? Is it likely they contracted the worms somehow? And if so, my neighbor who has his chickens in a run just over the fence from me (about 30 feet away) was...
Thank you!
I think the safeguard aquasol is most practical for me. I can’t catch and medicate my whole flock every day for 5 days.
Am I able to eat the eggs during the treatment period?
My Black copper Maran has been missing feathers on her entire neck and butt for a long time now. At first I thought it was molting but they just aren't growing back. Today while I was in the run I noticed her bottom looked REALLY bad. Way worse than it has (and I check often). When she pooped...
Confirmed that the orange colored one in the first photo is a cockerel. He gave me a puny little crow yesterday morning.
The black one has me fully leaning cockerel. He’s growing a beard like an Easter egger and his pea comb is very red. Also he’s super aggressive towards the other cockerel...
No very few of them have designated spots. Also the more I think about it the more I don’t see how she could be pecked at under her butt like that in the coop. Usually when I have a bully it’s the base of the tail. It started under her butt and front of her neck.
She’s not up top but she doesn’t seem to be at the bottom of the order. No lice or mites. I’m really careful with the coop and clean/lime inside. No one else is losing feathers.
Also want to add I keep my flock on 20% protein feed. Could that keep her laying?
Started with her butt and front neck feathers but today she looks like a naked neck chicken. Hard to see in the photo but her whole neck is basically bare front and back. I don’t see any one really targeting her during the day. Is this just regular molting? She’s still laying.
