    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.

    I'm worried that my vet's instructions for deworming may be wrong!

    Hi--After seeing some worms in one of my chicken's poo, I had a fecal test done (when I was at the vet for 2 other unrelated issues). The test came back positive for roundworms and the vet prescribed Safeguard goat dewormer 10% suspension. She told me to dose all my chickens (they weigh around...

    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...

    Gapeworms?

    Several months ago I had a pullet (Olive) that started gaping followed by head shaking. She does it quite often. I took a video and showed it to the vet.

    Triple Checking Safe Guard Worming Dosage

    I've got one girl coming out of molt and she's lost a lot of weight. It's likely just the molt, but figured I'd worm both my girls anyway just as a precaution. I got the 125ml bottle of liquid Safe Guard, and I've seen the dosage instructions at 0.23ml (~1/4ml) per pound of bird (for 5 days or...

    Quail drinking a lot of water

    I just dewormed my quails and now one of them is acting very weird. She is more active than before, but she drinks a lot of water and her droppings are very watery.
