I have (2) 3yr old Rocks that one is walking with legs wide apart, paste butt, not too interested in food, she keeps moving her rear end like she is pushing, fluffed feathers, and her belly is soft and mushy like water belly. Her poop has been thick green and white but yesterday the white...
I have a 1 year old brown leghorn that’s not herself. Checked for being egg bound, crop issues, lice and mites. She has a pale comb and is lethargic but appetite is still ok. This morning this was her fecal. Is it a worm??? See attached pictures
Hi all. I found worms in my chicken’s coop this morning. I’m new to raising chickens! There are only two hens that stay in this coop, and one has been laying sporadically so I’m assuming it’s her (both are around a yr and a half old). I know I need to worm them, but what do I use? I’m seeing a...
I've had this experience before with two other Buckeyes so I'm fearing the worst.
I found Speckles this morning sitting out on the floor of my garage that has flake down as if she was planning to lay.
Picked her up and put her in a nesting box. She didn't fuss.
I checked her vent she was...
Have a Calico Princess hen ("Kali" - 2 years old) who gets around the chicken run during the day, but I have noticed her belly is very big and low & she seems to struggle with breathing. I hadn't realized she was missing so many feathers on her bottom and her belly underneath until today. Had...
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...
I own three hens who are around 3 years old, and I usually let them roam the backyard. About 1-2 weeks ago, I noted that one of my hens had a very pale comb. However, I attributed that to the extreme heat of our summers. But after lifting her up, I realised that she has significantly lost...
Hi all, long time chicken keeper and BYC forums and articles have helped me save countless chickens over the years.
I have a black sex-linked hybrid chicken who is an older lady, about 8 at this point. For the last 3 weeks she has had almost completely clear, very watery diarrhea. Prior to...
I use Ivermectin Pour-On for mites and lice on my birds. I was wondering, can I use it for dogs? What would be the dosage? I was going to buy a flea collar for my new LGD, but if Ivermectin works, I can use that since I have it on hand. Also, does anyone use SafeGuard dewormer for horses on...
Hello!
About a week ago I made a post about red globs and intestinal lining in poop. After that, a few more birds had intestinal lining and no more red globs. I had a fecal float done that came back negative for worms or cocci, but I decided to worm anyways since it may not have shown up. About...
Good morning all,
I have a situation with a new flock i received end of july. there are 28 birds and all looked healthy when they got here, i would say they are about a year old. a couple little ones were hatched with the group are about 7 months old i would guess.
I need some help with some...
Just wondering if this is normal poop or something to be concerned about. Why is there always white stuff on the poop? And usually its not reddish but this one is.
Hi,
I've got a silver cochen who's butt looks terrible. I'll try to post a picture. She's white/ silver and it looks like she has black diarrhea on her butt. It seems she's been like this since I got her from my daughter, who says it's going to get nasty again as soon as I clean it. But none...
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...
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...
Hello!
I didn’t know where to post this, since it’s not really an emergency or a disease (to my knowledge). My chickens have very inconsistent poops. At night and sometimes during the day, normal poops; sometimes wet poops, but still solid-ish; sometimes just liquid. Sometimes it’s brown...
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...
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??
Hello. We have a chicken who has been in the house for about a week and a half now. She had worms, and we dewormed her, but also had a gurgle/wet breathing, only mouth breathing. She was very lethargic and underweight. We determined it may be CRD so we gave her 0.8mL oxytetracycline, and another...
Hey y'all! I had to go to TSC the other day to grab a bottle of Safeguard 10% Goat Dewormer because 1 of 4 of my hens has watery poop and visible worms (pretty sure roundworms?). I haven't noticed any issues with my other hens, although one is broody at the moment so I do need to break that...
