worms

Hello! I am not sure if anyone can shed some light on the subject as the vet was none the wiser. My chicken Hilda is lethargic and withdrawn, and shaking head often. Stands in one place most of the day not moving much. Crop and wattle Is still very red, as is face- which is odd. Currently on 10...

I recently had a sick emu, Kali, but through intervention his symptoms have cleared and he's happy again. I decided to share the details for posterity, in case anyone else has a sick emu with similar symptoms and needed a point of reference. Symptoms: He's always been a very small/skinny bird...

Hello, I bought 50lb bags of sunflower seeds, wheat, and corn in June and have been storing them in the house until i needed them, which would have been this weekend since i just finished up my previous batch (I prefer to mix my own). I have 6 chickens, so they don't eat a ton, so it can tend...

The other day I caught one of my ducks breaking into the vegetable garden and realised when I picked her up that she was extremely thin. As in her keel was like a knife and every other bone was clearly defined, no fat on her at all." She is fed a balanced diet consisting of pelleted feed...

Found roundworms in my 2 year old hen's poop Tuesday am (figured out it was her by checking who was roosting where through the night). I treated the whole flock with Safeguard equine paste Tues pm, Weds pm and Thurs pm. She has passed a worm nearly each night, and last night she passed 2. They...

All 6 of my chickens have been laying eggs for a few weeks now. All of them are acting normal eating etc. today I went to collect the egg, the egg was clean but I noticed a weird worm on the shell .. first time I’ve seen this. I have not noticed any worms in their poop either. I don’t know if...

I’ll start off by admitting, I was sloppy about quarantining new birds from my old ones. I brought home three new silkies from a poultry swap a few weeks ago (one adult hen, one pullet, and a young roo that I THOUGHT was a pullet :rolleyes: it’s so hard to tell with silkies.) I threw them in...

Recently got two ducklings from rural king, both have been living in kiddie pool in my house. Went outside to clean it out and put new shavings in and I noticed little worms crawling around . What can I do to treat them? Also I would like to treat my 5 adult ducks and two geese just in case. Can...

I recently noticed over the past month that one of my chickens has had a dirty vent and I've been keeping an eye on it and just got a new bag of d.e. today. I noticed that every other day her comb turns purple color. What does this mean? Does it mean she has worms because one of my others...

What am I looking at here? Very tiny white flecks, non-moving, about the size of the commas in this text. ( , ' ) This is a "night poop" from under the roost in the coop. Fresher poops from the day showed no signs of this. I don't know who made this poop. They bed on straw right now and I...

Hi! One or more of our eight hens have worms as we found the little white (tapeworms, I believe) in some poo. We treated them today, but have a couple dozen eggs we have collected over the last week or so that they laid before we knew of the worms. We are not going to eat the eggs for several...

First time chicken momma and apparently the chickens bring out my anxiety lol. My flock seems very healthy, but I just noticed a small wiggly worm in the fresh poop of one of my pullets. It seemed to be a round worm - I'm still trying to find out if any local vet offices could run a fecal...

They are 5 weeks old. Please help. I have no clue. They break apart very easily and very long 3-4 inches. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks: /

Hi. I have a newer chicken and think she should be laying by now. But she is not. This morning I saw this in her stool. What is it???? And will it effect my other girls? And how do I fix it??

Yes hammerhead worms! Just an FYI especially for folks in the southeast of the U.S that hammerhead worms are BAD this year! For those that don't know hammerhead worms are an invasive species that feed on earthworms, they produce the same neurotoxin as puffer fish so obviously they aren't on the...

I have 17 chickens that are 3 months, 3 weeks and 2 days old. I'm on day 6 of treating for coccidiosis with Corid of which they are recovering, not completely but definitely doing better. I've been reading other posts and have seen some pictures from posters who are being told they need to...

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...

Just found these two large white worms in the poop of my 7.5 week old cockerel. The poop was fresh and one worm was actively moving when I noticed it. Are they round worms? Or tape segments? Is it safe to worm such a young chicken? Any advice much appreciated!

I have been trying to handle our poults (2 weeks old and 3 weeks old) as often as I can to keep them "friendly". I was holding one today and it sounded like it has "gas". The poult just stood there with audible gas noises from about 3 feet away. I anticipated a big poo nothing happened. I had 2...

My two buff orpington have been wheezing since March. No other symptoms, only these two chickens. I sent in throat swabs to Zoologix to do their Poultry Respiratory PCR (tests influenza, Aspergillus, infectious bronchitis, infectious laryngotracheitis, infectious coryza, Ornithobacterium...
