    I found worms - now what?

    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...

    Flock Woes

    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...

    hen with labored breathing, waddling, worms and mites?!

    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...

    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...

    Deworming a weak chicken

    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...

    Ivermectin Pour On on Dogs?

    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...

    A few issues in the flock

    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...

    Is This Normal Poop? Worms? Cecal?

    Worms and dirty butt

    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...

    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...

    Chicken poop advice

    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...

    Do It Yourself, Non Prescription Dewormer/Deworming

    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...

    Worms or unprocessed food? [Poop pic]

    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??

    Sick chicken not eating

    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...

    Help with Safeguard goat dewormer

    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...
