    Mass under silkie’s tummy/vent

    Hello! One of my silkies has like a mass under her tummy/vent. It’s quite soft, her skin look normal and she is laying normally. I know shes had it for months and I never thought too much about it. She’s acting fine and healthy. Any idea what it is? Should I be worried ?

    Tapeworms coming back after a week each time

    Ok guys. Last treatment I did was February 10. Works were back about a week later as usual. I thought I’ll give them a break and will re worm them on March 10. I just saw one of my australorp poop and as I looked closer I saw longer worms wiggle in it !!! I took a video but I can’t upload as it...

    When do Australorps start laying?

    Yep they free range all day. I’m 99% sure. I get 1 australorp egg a day (smaller than my isa’s eggs and bigger than my silkies so easy to tell) and I checked a few times which one of the australorps was in the nesting box and it was always my oldest (who’s much skinnier and smaller than the one...

    When do Australorps start laying?

    Hi guys. I’ve got one australorp hatched on August 8 last year, she’s been laying since late or early January. She’s doing really well and laying everyday. I’ve got another one that hatched on 18 September and still didn’t lay an egg... is she too young or am I just unlucky? She’s much bigger...

    Tapeworms coming back after a week each time

    I thought so too so I followed my hen once until she pooped. As soon as she pooped those were in it straight away. They wiggle and die after a while. It’s been so hot here they probably fry after an hour or so ahah

    Tapeworms coming back after a week each time

    I hope it’s something else but it looks a lot like tapeworm segments from what I found online. Difference is, those are orange little segments ... and they’re a freaking pain! Ahah

    Tapeworms coming back after a week each time

    Can’t see anything like that around the vent. I took a sample before and came back negative but there wasn’t any little worms I the sample I took. They only show up in poo in the late afternoon. Yesterday I only found 2-3 poos with those segments in it

    Hi guys. Update on that tapeworms issue. I gave the second dose on Sunday 10 of feb. so a week yesterday, and as always when I pick up the poo from the backyard every night I’m pretty sure I noticed segments on 2 of the poops. Probably only one or two segments and looked dead but I’ll have a...
