Hello everyone, Anyone know how to use Wormout gel? I don't know if I use the dosage on the packet for my big girls. They weigh around 4-5kg. I'm about to go away and want to get them wormed ASAP. Thanks, and happy holidays!

I've attached the photo of Geoff's comb. Today was the first warm day I've had this week, so I cleaned Marshmallow. She was okay and now I have a system in place for when I do my other girl tomorrow. The Wormout is going to be here on Tuesday, yay! Also, I just noticed that your girl is named...

Thanks so much! I will try cleaning them without the cookie sheet first, and if I need to I will use it. I'll use your tips to make it an easier and cleaner process, too. I really appreciate the help! :)

Thanks so much, Laura. I will give wormout a go. Any ideas about dosage? Have you used it and found it to be safe? Also, I will bathe the poo off of them tomorrow, and hopefully, I can convince my parents to let me use the laundry. I really appreciate the help! I'll update you soon :) Also will...

Sadly she passed away a few days later- The vet gave her treatment, but it didn't help. We still don't know what caused it.

Two of my chickens have had this white, flaky skin kind of coming off of their combs. The one who has it the worst is my Orpington, Geoff, and she's around 4-5 years old, and 4kg. The white, flaky stuff reminds me of dandruff. She's been decreasing in weight. Around a month ago I weighed her and...

I think that it is sour crop. She has a liquid filled crop and the head jerking with vomiting. I found a vet who will treat chickens- we are going today.

Thankyou! I think it is definitely sour crop, or something similar. I am taking my hen to the vet tomorrow.

I have the same problem. But, my hen is still pooping? What could this be?

Thank you, I would have no idea about how to help her without this forum. It helped me help my eggbound hen pass her egg, and helped me learn about chickens in the first place. Jet's poop is normal again apart from a bit of mucus-like stuff in it. She's eating more; lettuce and grain as well as...

I gave her some coconut oil, and I have been hearing a gurgling type noise from her. It's like if a human has an upset stomach, or is hungry. SH eis now eating lettuces as well as her normal foods.

Okay, thanks. Which is better?

I don't have those particular brands at my supermarket, but here are a few things that I found online- what do you think will work?

I have done a look around her belly area and there is no fluid there like a ‘water balloon’; a description of this in some research I have done. What else could it be? She is eating. But, the poop white is sticky, kind of like mucus. There are some seeds in her poo that aren’t really broken...

This photo is on here so I can put it on a thread btw.

Thankyou for helping me understand, I don’t have any coconut oil but will get some hopefully. Jet is still vomiting but her poop is getting closer to normal. Yesterday she didn’t have much of an appetite, so I made a blended baby food type thing to hand feed her. She likes that. She seems less...

No I don’t have any vitamins- I’m in Australia, and it’s grand final weekend for football; so vets are closed and so are most shops. I could look for a pet shop that may have some? Her crop is soft and full but I’m not sure if it’s puffy. The chickens aren’t molting, they finished about a month...

I think that it would be important that you make sure he isn’t stressed too much, perhaps set up something for him that he can rest in. if he has trouble getting to food or water, you could move them closer to him. I would definitely keep looking for advice on a forum for small birds- they may...

Update today: She is vomiting still, the poop situation is better. She is closing her eyes a lot and I have to fluff her feathers to motivate her to eat. I have been giving her water in between food to keep it down- the food isn’t vomited up at all. (Ps: don’t mind me saying he; sometimes I...
