    Help with deworming ducks (tapeworm)

    Hi all, There is so much great information about deworming chickens on this site, but I am having trouble with finding information on ducks. Specifically an oral application, not in-water dosing. I recently sent in fecal samples for both my chickens and ducks and both came back positive for...

    I found a roundworm in some chicken poop, oddly only one, no more! I went to TSC, and an employee there told me that this was the only dewormer safe to give my hens. This is my first go around with deworming chickens, so any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!!!! 1.) how many pellets...

    My girls gave me a Christmas surprise this morning!

    The Christmas surprise was roundworms. Two. Huge. Roundworms. Left right on top of a roost for me to see as soon as I walked in the coop this morning! 😁. So everyone got a nice dollop of fenbendazole this morning. My sweet Delaware, Willow, recognized the syringe and came running to gobble up...

    Do It Yourself, Non Prescription Dewormer/Deworming

    Hello friends, I know there are a million threads on deworming, but my question is pretty specific. First of all, my chickens don't have any visible worms or problems. This is about preventative maintenance, though I'm sure at some point in the future I'll have to deal with actual worms, so I...

    Can Tylosin & Valvazen be given together?

    My chickens were given Valbazen (Dose #1) on July 21. Dose #2 will be 10 days later on August 1. Can I go ahead and start them on their Tylosin now? Or do I have to wait until the deworming is done? I can’t find much information about the two meds and if they can be given at the same time.

    Worms or unprocessed food? [Poop pic]

    3 week old goslings have been having diarrhea for a week or so now. But this is the first I noticed something that kinda looks like a worm, they're on pellets though so it's hard to tell. Do you even deworm geese??

    deworming

    The past couple of months we've had two chickens die, about a month apart. One had a 'dirty butt' and had quit eating, etc. When it died I just discarded the bird. When the second one died, which didn't really have a dirty butt, but she'd become lethargic, not eating, etc, and so when she died I...

    [ʀᴇꜱᴏʟᴠᴇᴅ] Hen suddenly falling asleep while standing, droopy tail! | 𝘌𝘥𝘪𝘵: 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘮 𝘉𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘢𝘨𝘦

    I have an 11 month old Buff Orpington hen named Maisie. I went out about an hour and a half ago to the run and saw her falling asleep while standing. I quickly grabbed her and brought her in and gave her two Calcium Citrate+D3 pills (630mg total) just in case she may be egg bound. I also gave...

    Is this a worm???

    I cracked an egg this morning and found this inside the white of the egg. Is this a worm? All poops are and have been normal and healthy looking. No sign of worms in their poops at all.

    Safeguard Fenbendazole Dewormer Liquid Dose??

    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...

    IF to Deworm and When to Deworm, those are the questions.

    Dear BYC enthusiasts, I am new to BYC, and I am relatively new at raising chickens, but one thing I know from many hours of reading and watching videos these past 2 years is to learn from the seasoned chicken poulterers. (Not to be confused with seasoned chicken. :)) Thank you in advance for...

    Deworming and other things(?) for Bantams

    Hello! My hens(2 OEGBs) are healthy and don't show any signs of illness. However, I've just learned that I should be deworming them regularly for prevention of infestation. They are nearly a year old and have never had any treatments whatsoever. I've started my research but I'm pretty confused...

    Anyone heard of using Antezole for de-worming?

    Hey! Long time reader, 1st time thread poster :) So, I have a multi-pet household I'm looking for something to de-worm everyone simultaneously. I came across a de-wormer called Antezole that I can use for my dogs & cats. Was wondering if anyone's heard of it being used on chickens too, or just...

    Worming question?

    I have not wormed my girls since getting them as chicks in Sept 2022. I have not seen any in their poop and everyone is happy and healthy. They will be free ranging more when the weather turns nicer so I am thinking I should stay ahead of it and worm them as a preventative. I have no clue what...

    Deworming chicken routine?

    Hello, I have a healthy flock of 10 chickens that free range for half the day every day, we are located in central Florida where it’s hot and humid. Is a deworming routine necessary? I kept reading that maybe twice a year it should be done but I’m not sure if it’s necessary if I don’t see...

    Ivermectin for both Sheep and Chickens?

    I’ve tried to find info on this but it’s confusing. I’m hoping to use the pour-on or oral ivermectin to treat for a bad case of scaly leg mites and possibly deworm. My sheep may also need to be dewormed, but from what I can tell the ivermectin for cattle is not approved for sheep. Since...

    Deworming a small amount of birds

    I have 5 chickens, and was looking into deworming them. I never have done that. I've fed them DE before but you can flip a coin and will be told, that helps, that's useless, so... there's that. I went to tractor supply and the only thing they had for chickens was this pellet stuff, that a 1...

    Help! I can’t figure out the fendbenzole dewormer dosage.

    I got the safeguard fendbendzole .5% pellets is what the vet gave me to give my chickens. He was not educated on the dosing because what he said made no sense at all! How many pellets do I give each chicken? If I add it to feed or the water I’m afraid because what if one chickens eats or drinks...
