    Dewormer Dosage help!

    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...

    Mid-June Molt?

    I have a flock of five hens who are all a little over 4 years old. Two of the five are starting to molt--a buff orpington and a RIR hybrid. The buff orpington had a light/mini-molt already in May, where she stopped laying for a couple of weeks and lost a small amount of feathers. This molt is...

    Questions about worming.

    Discovered yesterday that my chickens have roundworms. I have Kilverm and a couple questions about using it. I am full prepared to use it as the instructions say but if possible I would rather directly dose each chicken. I don't really want to have to keep them all contained to their pens (so...

    First time dealing with round worm(?)

    Ugh. Hardly a year in and we’ve had sour crop, rounds and rounds of bubble foot, molting, and now this morning I found a VERY soft egg under the roosting bar and then just found a soft poo with 2 worms in it. They hopped up on an old brooder coop that they perch on sometimes. Clearly worms. Is...

    Worms

    Chicken left this right at the back door yesterday. I’ve never worked them before as was told by a chicken farmer if 25+ years it wasn’t necessary- but this convinces me to go ahead. I bought valbazan (for goats) quite some time ago per a post on here. I need help in how to administer this and...

    Need Help! De-worming Sickly Flock During Molt

    I'm in a bit of a bind. During the last month or so of summer a few of my chickens started to have laying issues (weird shell-less, soft shelled, and otherwise wonky eggs; illness before laying a weird egg, then no eggs but acting like laying; suspected internal laying). It's been such a...

    valbazen / panacur dosage for turkeys?

    Hey again. Stuff just keeps happening and I'm not getting a break, lol. Found some roundworms in my adult turkey's poop this morning. The first time I've ever seen a wormy poop in the 5 years of owning any birds, and I only have seen that one. I did a loop around the open ground of the yard...

    Roundworms, no wazine, piperazine citrate?

    I treated with safeguard paste back in April. I'm in FL so I expect reoccurring roundworm issues. Well, I found a roundworm in one bird's droppings this morning. I had read piperazine is the recommended treatment for roundworms, but apparently it isn't made for chickens anymore? I found a...

    IS THIS CURABLE???

    I am still kind of new to the chicken world. My first and my little baby girl Nugget (profile picture) has not pooped in awhile. Lost a lot of weight, lethargic, and it keeps getting worse as the weeks go on. I’ve kept her separate from the other chickens in my flock for two days now and when I...

    Treating roundworm in young poultry (no Wazine or Fenbendazole)

    I rescued a family of three-week-old ducklings that have roundworms. My guidance was to use Fenbendazole on them, but I read the following: "Caution. Fenbendazole shouldn't be given to pet poultry who are actively growing new feathers, such as those in the early stages of growth or during...

    Deworming Roundworm Advice

    Found 3 roundworms in my silkie's poop. I purchased a Safeguard dewormer that kills the roundworms, but it's currently in the shipping. In the mean time, I administered homeovet Avian WRM clear (Attached below) in the last 24 hours. I haven't seen any worms come out since, so I am not sure if I...

    Worms and Respiratory Disease

    Hello all, My vet gave me tri/sulfa (40mg/mL) to treat an upper respiratory infection for my flock. Bacteria were identified as Enterobacter and Galibacterium. I have been treating everyone for 4 days now after one of the healthy ones started to show symptoms after I had quarantined the...

    Wazine 17 substitutes?

    One of my hens was diagnosed today with Roundworms. The vet gave us Fenbendazole pills for 5 days. I know I need to deworm everyone else so I asked for a recommendation for something to put in the water. He suggested Wazine17 but I cannot find it - even online. Some threads are suggesting that...

    Wormed with safeguard but didn’t repeat the dose, should I worm again?

    Hello all, I recently wormed my chickens with safeguard equine paste, just did an approximate “pea” sized dose. They had visible roundworms in their droppings, which is why I wormed in the first place. However I’m reading in a few places that I should have repeated the dose two weeks after I...

    Diarrhea or normal poop?

    The poop below is from my 2 year old red sex link hen. More often than not her stool isn’t the normal solid pieces, but softer (see pic below). She is super active and eats well. This is typical for her but not sure if I should be concerned. Closer view:

    Worms

    So I have worms. Pretty sure they’re roundworms (I’ll upload a picture if I can remember how to do that) I never knew chickens could get worms and I’ve had chickens for nearly ten years. I remember spotting them and saying “That’s a weird place for a pile of roots....wait...:eek: they’re...
