    Chickens keep getting water belly

    Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Yes, I have noticed soft-shelled eggs and shell-less eggs recently, but my chickens eat them so quickly that I don’t have the opportunity to see who expelled it. I’ve only noticed two incidents though. My plan right now is to eliminate all...

    Chickens keep getting water belly

    Three of my chickens have gotten water belly in the past 2 years, and I’ve just discovered another chicken that has it. I’m at a complete loss for what to do at this point. My chickens are pets, and we treat them as such. Their coop is well ventilated and extra large, they get free range time...

    Deplumbing Mites or Mange

    I’ve treated the coop and my chickens twice already with elector psp - a week apart. I’m planning on treating the coop again today with permethrin 10. I wanted to use something that would get absorbed into their bloodstream to try and keep them off their bodies, but then I started seeing...

    Is it safe to use ivermectin pour on a day after treating my chickens with equimax for tapeworms?

    Mite Identification

    That’s good advice, thank you. Do you happen to have any thoughts about frontline? I was thinking of using it since it gets absorbed into the bloodstream, and I don’t really care about their eggs. Not sure if I would still need to be concerned about treating and retreating the coop though.

    Mite Identification

    Thank you. Unfortunately, I discovered a different kind of bug this afternoon on yet another egg but wasn’t able to zoom in on my camera enough to get a good look at its body shape (I also freaked out and squished it after a few seconds of watching it). Could this be a red mite? It was bright...

    How do i use ivermectin on my chickens? (Mites) or what is most powerful mite killer

    Can you please explain exactly how you used it? I think I have a mite problem and want to handle it swiftly. My chickens are pets - not used for eggs or meat - so egg withdrawal isn’t a concern for me

    Mite Identification

    Hi everyone. I noticed this bug on one of my eggs Monday evening and immediately treated my chickens and the coop with Elector PSP the following day (Tuesday). Since I’m posting this at 12 am my time, yesterday (Wednesday) I went ahead and cleaned my coop out again (the floor is dirt/sand, so I...

    Dewormed flock but still seeing worms?

    Should I wait a certain amount of time before deworming them again? Since I only saw one of them have it, is there any chance it was just that one bird that was infected and deworming the whole flock again isn’t necessary?

    Dewormed flock but still seeing worms?

    I dewormed all of my chickens this morning with Equimax for tapeworms but just saw one of my chickens expel a roundworm. I’m assuming the Equimax helped knock it out, but it was still moving. Was it probably dying, or do I need to treat with something else for the roundworms?

    How to extract Equimax from tube

    Yes. I actually noticed because my most favorite hen pooped right in front of me, and I’ve gotten into the habit of checking droppings whenever I get the chance lol. The tapeworm segments were moving. Is it 10 days or 14? I thought it was 10, but I have no problem doing it in 14.

    How to extract Equimax from tube

    Would squirting some into a 10 ml syringe and extracting it with a 1 ml syringe work as well? When I had to deworm them before, I used Zimecterin Gold, and a friend advised me to put the tube in a 10 ml needless syringe, cut the tip off, make the hole big enough to fit a 1 ml syringe and draw it...

    How to extract Equimax from tube

    I noticed tapeworms in one of my chickens’ droppings the other day, as well as in another dropping much smaller that I don’t think was hers. I have 23 chickens who free range most of the day, so I can’t keep track of who drops what. I plan on deworming all of them with Equimax (in case more of...

    Would they be sex-linked due to her being part barred rock?

    Thank you for your response! ☺️ So any babies would have more of a silkie feather-type and not smooth feathers??

    Silkie/Barred Rock mix cross

    I have a hen who was produced by my barred rock mix rooster (his dad was pure barred rock, but I don’t know what his mom was) mating with one of my (seemingly) black silkie hens. I’m curious to know what her offspring might look like if she’s currently being bred by my silkie rooster. I acquired...

    Silkie x Porcelain D’uccle?

    Will it end up having any color at all, do you think? Here’s a picture of the other baby.
