It was only round worms in one hens poop and I could see tapes in maybe 3-4 of their droppings. Wednesday was their second dose and I have not seen any eggs or live tapes in any droppings except for the day I gave them the first dose. One of my hens that I know had tapes has been in the house...

Ok I get what you mean!! Do you think the whole flock should be wormed again or only the hen I saw the roundworms in? I’d rather do her and the roosters. I know who lays each egg and can discard only hers easily.

I understand the 2 doses. This is where I thought a (3rd dose) in 30 days “I'd let the Equimax do its job, then consider deworming with Safeguard or Valbazen in a month.”

Urghhhhh. I wormed with equimax on Sunday morning and just found small live tapes in one of my hens droppings. I might be being paranoid- is this normal to happen before the final dose? Do I need to wait 10 days? Can the second dose be given at 7 days? Does just that hen need an extra...

We have spy point cameras set up. There’s an app on our phone and we can set it up to send on demand or a certain amount of times a day. You can get 100 free pics a month or pay a monthly fee for unlimited. There’s an option for videos as well. I also have a Blink camera I am able to use to...

So for clarification: 2nd dose of equimax 10 days after the first dose and 3rd dose 30 days after second with safe guard? Is this only 1 dose of safeguard? I did see a small live round worm and tapes in 1 dropping before I wormed them. I'm like 90% sure it was the same hens dropping that...

I’ll try to find a link (I’m not too tech savvy). I’m thinking maybe that’s what I was seeing -5 days in a row using safeguard to treat tapes. Except for a few poops I saw some dead roundworms I havnt seen any poops with live tapes. I have seen a few that looked like there were eggs but they...

I hope this hasn’t been asked before. I did check and didn’t see anything. I have a flock of 15 chickens and 6 ducks. They range from 1-7 years. A few girls have seemed not 100% and some poops have been loose. I regularly inspect poops and noticed one with live tapeworm segments and...

Thank you Maziemay 💕. It definitely hurt and will continue to do so. I hatched them as chicks and they were my pets. Are you in Canada or US? I went to the pet store and they had flea spray for the home that had permitherin. I sprayed all the cracks and walls with that and burned all their...

Ok so it’s been over a week and the only thing I could find was a permitherin spray for fleas in your house. I sprayed that and cleaned their coop well. The mites seem to be gone. I’ve used a flashlight in the evening all over the white walls inside the coop and could not find one ( before I...

Ok. I’ll see if I can find a product with that. I have a UV light going on the inside and I keep moving it around. Hopefully that does something. I also slathered their combs and feet with coconut oil and gave them ivermectin paste. I have force of nature which is a good and animal safe...

Unfortunately you can’t buy that in Canada either :/. Well tiny 5ml bottles are available at $15

I understand that. I only used that mix to spray the carrier which I rinsed good an hour later and the room she was in before I steam cleaned it!

Wow. I’m trying to do research of what to do and we are pretty much SOL in Canada. I have one of those uv lights that are suppose to kill everything. I’ll run that in their coop and run (when they are not there) and hopefully that will treat their living space. 🤦‍♀️.
