deworm

Hello! About a month and a half ago I had to deworm my older birds (they had a mild case of roundworm). My four chicks were way too young at the time, but now I’m worried they might have roundworm now after being outside. They are 7 1/2 weeks old Jersey giants. The only thing I noticed wrong...

Hey everyone! My chicken (rooster, 5 & a half yrs old) has been pretty sick the past one month and i've basically been hand feeding him 3 times a day. I've tried treating him for breathing issue with antibiotics, but it hasnt worked. His neck is twisted (wry neck), his head droops, he stumbles...

I recently got my chicken’s fecal float test back from our vet and she has 2 types of worms, they recommended this for deworming and I have seen it posted in groups. The only thing I am struggling with is how to administer it to our chickens? I plan to do the whole flock but my flock is small...

So I went out to my coop this morning and found this in some poop. I know it’s a roundworm and that I need to treat the whole flock then. Are there any methods someone could recommend for treatment? There isn’t really anything available for chickens at my local feed stores and I really want to...

Hello everyone, I made a post a few days ago about my Polish chicken. I thought she was on deaths door but after administering Corrid, she is starting to walk and act normal again! She is not 100% better but she has made big improvements! This morning though I found this worm in her poop (it is...

I have an otherwise happy and healthy naked neck chicken. A few days ago, I noticed one small worm in her cecal poop. I bought some fenbendazole paste just in case, but I'm thinking about NOT deworming her and seeing how things progress. On one hand, if I see an adult worm, does that mean she...

Hi all - I just de-wormed my chickens using safeguard 3ml to a 1 gallon water and changed it daily. I did this for 3 days and repeated on day 10 to kill any remaining young worms. The withdrawal period just ended and I noticed tiny worms in one of my hens poops again. What should I do? Should I...

Hello! So I have been raising 2 pigeons both are rescued one Is year old and another I found around 6th of jan 2023 he’s young and not having one foot Searching a safe dewormer for him as his poop looks white sometimes he’s very talkative and chatty no signs of worms but I am worried if he have...

Hi! I'm dosing my chickens with safeguard aquasol. I bought a small amount via ebay since it's otherwise extremely expensive (it's manufactured for massive farm/factory flocks). Due to its unforgivingly high concentration and my lack of math skills, I'm skeptical of my calculations and worried...

I am curious if other chicken people add DE (Diatomaceous Earth) to their chicken feed. I would like to start to do this as a preventive for worms and general health. What is the ratio of DE to feed? I saw a video that recommends mixing 1 cup of DE and 5 pounds of ADULT feed and to do this...

Hi all. We’ve had chickens for at least ten years now, and had gapeworms pop up a handful of times. In the past we’ve just been able to just keep them under control with diatomaceous earth, but they’ve gotten pretty bad over the last couple months, so we’re finally going to go ahead and deworm...

Hello everyone I would love some insight on the worms I found in my chicken poop. I have four 8 week old BCM chicks that stay in a large cage in the coop with their broody mom during the night and then free range with the others during the day. I was cleaning out their cage and upon examining...

Is this worms or something else? If so, what type?

Hello! I wanted to make sure I am using the correct method to deworm my chickens. One of our birds sadly passed away on Saturday due to worms. We think it was cecal or capillary worms, possibly gapeworms but we didn't think so. There were small, short (1cm?), rounded, light-colored worms...

Yet another de-worming thread on this forum, however I would just like to verify the things I've gleaned off of this website as well as ask for help with what I think are severely ill chickens (at least one of them!) So I made a mistake, we saw some "1 year old hens" for sale locally of...

Good afternoon all, long-time listener, first-time caller :D We've had a flock of 6 chickens, all under 2.5 years old. Last fall, our smallest Wyndotte exhibited some hesitancy when walking, often holding it up for a pause before stepping, some stumbling. One wing kept drooping more. Was like...

I’ve used the Equimax for treating tapeworms (which worked great by the way) and was wondering if it would be as effective for roundworms? It’s been wet and muddy for a while, and I saw one roundworm, in a hen’s feces. I’ve used straight up ivermectin before for roundworms….But I was...

Hi! I suspect that my 3ish month old coturnix quail might have worms. After about a weekish of stress (she was being bullied - its been fixed now) I noticed her poops started to get watery and a little lighter. Hoping it was just a reaction to stress I decided to wait it out. That was some...

Hi all! I need a de-wormer ASAP. Our flock definitely has parasites of some kind as two have died in the past week after making wheezing noises and shaking their heads and necks. Gapeworm?? Any Canadians here that can recommend a brand to try for treating our entire flock? We’re in Ontario...

Hi everyone! I suspect parasites or worms in my small flock of 7 hens. We just unexpectedly lost one of our girls yesterday, and the others are beginning to have pale combs, and lustreless feathers. Does anyone have any suggestions for treating the entire flock as a preventative measure? I was...
