Have had her quarantined for several days, and she is eating and drinking normally. I can't find anything that seems to fit...

    Sick Peach Golden?

    My male peach golden pheasant is 2 years old. Always been healthy, he’s recently started throwing his head backwards and his feathers are ruffled and keeps eyes closed. I originally thought gape worm, but I’m not sure that’s it. He’s been given dewormer. It’s like his crop is full? What should I...

    Can’t get rid of tapeworm! Please help!

    I have a flock, all around 1 yr old. They have had tapeworm for gosh, 6 months. I talked to my vet (not really helpful) but gave hens Safeguard in their water. Did not work. Trying again with Panacur paste. Still not working. I tried 1 dose and a dose 10 days later. This time I did 1 dose for...

    How often should I change up the worming meds

    Hello! My flock had round worm back in early April and I wormed them with safeguard. Well, it’s been very hot and wet this summer and I found a pile of cecal poop with round worms in it. So clearly, it’s time to worm again. My question is, should I still use safeguard or something else? I know...

    Lice on chickens!Help!

    I was holding one of my pullets and noticed that she had white bugs crawling around her face. I looked in her feathers and realized they seem to have an entire population on her head. I didn’t check my other birds, but I’m sure they’re infested too. What is a good medication and are there any...

    Adult duck trembling legs, won’t sit

    I have an adult duck (3-4 years old) whose legs are trembling a bit when she walks. I just noticed yesterday and made a note to keep an eye on her, and realized today that I haven’t seen her sit or lie down since then. She’s either walking around or just stands still to rest. Otherwise she seems...

    Stringy bits in chicken water. Larvae or parasites?

    Never had my chicken water dish look like that. Drained water out to get a closer picture but still says nothing to me. Seeing that my chickens are having health issues i want to make sure these are just some bug larvae or eggs not chicken parasites. Kindest regards

    DePluming Mites

    I’ve had months of problems with my chickens, feather loss, over-preening, anemic, decreased egg production…. The whole nine yards. I knew that something was happening, likely mites or lice, we’ve tried *just about* everything with ZERO results. My blue Cochin looks terrible, she has looked like...

    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...

    Green seeds or parasite?

    So today I noticed what appeared to be tiny green seeds in my chickens poop. A lot of them. I donned gloves and checked throughout the poop. The “seeds” can be squished and an audible pop is heard and white paste comes out. But could this be parasite larvae?? They have access to grass and dirt...

    Hello all! Firstly thank you for your time! Can you all tell me the best internal parasite treatment you guys have used? I’m looking for the safest and that obviously works! Any thoughts on Panacur? My vet recommended this but as the bottle doesn’t say for chickens I wanted to see if anyone...

    Does gapeworm in snails die when cooked?

    Hello, I find a large amount of snails in the yard and garden that I usually throw in a bucket, crush and feed to my chickens. I know that no pesticides are used in our area and had read that snails are safe to feed to chickens. Moreover they quite like them and it's extra protein and calcium...

    How to deworm the coop/run?

    In July, my hens were treated by our vet school: given 2 injections of Fenbendazole and Praziquan for roundworms and tapeworms 10 days apart. Their post fecal came back normal. A couple of my hens have had loose stool since I got them at 2 months old, so when I saw loose stool, days after being...

    Sick chicken semi-recovering but still watery poop

    Hello, I have looked at so many posts (and gross poop pictures!) but can’t find same specifics— During the heat wave a few weeks ago our 1year 8 month chicken got very sick - not leaving the roost, all liquid poop, empty crop and missing feathers around her bottom & chest while we were away...

    One rat in the coop: should I decon?

    Hi, wise chicken friends! I’d love your 2 cents about a first for me: a rat coop intruder. I have a small-ish coop and 7 chickens. I modified the coop with a crazy amount of thick hardware cloth and thought I’d made it virtually impenetrable. No holes anywhere wider than 1/4 inch. (I’ll put a...

    Mites and lice

    Ugh my chickens have had lice and mites for a couple months now. I knew they had mites, but always assumed they had very few since I rarely saw any on their face and head. Even when I parted the feathers on their crest. Tonight (past midnight) I was about to give one of my chicks (3 week old...

    Lice - how do I treat and what to use?

    I recently discovered that my flock of 5 chickens have lice. I found them around the vent. They're a couple mm big and yellow. I think my new chickens passed them on to my old ones. I've heard so many opinions that I don't even know where to start. Would calling my local dog and cat vet help...
