Hi everyone, I had to deworm all of my chickens for gape worm about a week ago (everyone is doing much better now!), but I read that there is an egg withdrawal period after deworming with fenbendazole afterwards. I have seen its anywhere from a week to 2.5 weeks. Either way, I wanted to ask if...
Couple of questions, I am treating for possible gape worm and reading I need to use 1ml per bird. I assume I need to go ahead and treat my whole flock for the 5 days needed, but then after that how often do I need to deworm them for prevention? And would it be at the same dose or the lower dose...
Thank you for the reply! I am in central NC, to my knowledge there has not been any outbreaks in my area. Neither of the hens showed any other symptoms other than gasping, no sneezing or drainage. No foam or discharge in the eyes or nostrils. Just the gasping. I will pick up some Safeguard first...

I was planning on getting a golden...
Update: She unfortunately passed away a couple hours ago, but I still want to ask if there was anything else I could have done? Or was she just not going to make it? I know this is the reality of keeping chickens, but if I can learn to prevent this in the future, I would love to know.
Hi everyone, I posted a thread a few weeks ago about dealing with some respiratory issues with a few of my bantam Cochin pullets, and the good news is they have gotten better from that. Two of them are totally back to normal and are back with the rest of the flock after being treated with...
Hi all, I have three 10-week old cochin bantams that are having some respiratory problems. They are all sneezing, and one has a slightly swollen face. They are still eating and drinking well. I have been giving them VetRx, Rooster Booster, and Spring Chicken Wellness Brew in their water each...
