Ok so cleaned out my pond filters and saw these...
What are they...
Of course tge ducks ate them... but is this a larvae or a parasite (they excrete and reingest)
There are a lot of major problems going on with my birds so I will try my best to keep it organized as I am seeking help with all of it. Please tag anyone you think may be able to help.
For a few days now, one of our birds has been acting depressed, lethargic, pale comb. I started giving her...
One of my chickens pooped worms- photo below. I know I have to treat them all, went looking for Fenbendazole and found this which seems easier than weighing them all and dosing them all. Has anybody used this and can confirm it works the same?
I was cleaning the coop this morning and I found a dropping with these white long looking sticks. I poked them with a stick and they didn't move. They look like worms to me, it is my first time encountering this. Are these worms? What kind? How can I treat my entire flock, I don't know which...
I posted an update yesterday and did not receive any responses so I am going to try again: Good morning. Well I looked through the poops last night and did not see any worms. I am going to check again a while this morning. I work at home today. Since I gave the Ivermectin, should I give them...
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...
