Thanks 🙏

I had a hen that appeared to have an egg break inside of her. Under her roost, I found the albumin and a little bit of yolk. No shell. I have an unidentified hen that lays very soft shelled eggs. I am thinking it could be her. I offer oyster shell always, bake and grind eggshells back to them...

It’s every year just curious if anyone else ever saw it. They aren’t molting now. It was a picture. I took in the fall and came across it. I had forgot to post it when they were actually malting.

Hi just curious. I have read a lot of articles on molting but have not read anything about the casings. Not sure if that is the right thing to call them. They are always all over the coop during a molt. At first I thought it was something else but always ends after the molt. Always under where...

What are the symptoms? They don't appear to have diarrhea. I treated them with Metronidazole or Fenbendazole (can't remember which one) 5 days and then 10 days later. I did this last spring due to diarrhea. It seems to have worked poop is solid. I hate to treat them now as they just started...

Thanks I guess I won’t be spying on them lol I figured that in order for a camera to work at night it would be flashing. Their automatic door opener does flash red but just a button.

My dogs were diagnosed with Giardia yesterday. Wondering if I should treat my flock. They free range in the same backyard. One of the dogs tested positive. It was recommended we treat the other one as well. Don’t know if it can be treated in poultry or how to do it and what dose. No option to...

I was wanting to watch my girls at night with a camera just for fun. Some of them (maybe all) blink and flash. I can't have that disturbing them. Just wondered if anyone may be doing this and what they use.

I have one banti she is the only one I am concerned about. Will it hurt her to get the same dose? I also have a fatty lol I rescued them. They look meat layer combo.

You have been so great thank you so much. A couple more questions. I have the goat wormer, ( treated 2x previously) but do not want to use it because it is too many days. I would like to try Valbazen. it’s just the half milliliter that you mentioned I don’t have to go by weight?I am not sure...

Now I Now I found this under perch where I found the blood in poop. So I need to treat for worms. I think I found a lab that might do the float test without a vet

Hi there thanks for the advice. Where can I get Valbazenand like safeguard do I need a goat or a sheep type or do they sell it For Chickens?

I guess I will treat them for the worms as soon as I get back and hope they are OK. They are not acting any different at the moment.

2 teaspoons per gallon of corid. Yes, I am very particular about the cleanliness of the coop. I scrape the poop every day off of the board and put new bedding once a week it is never wet. They free range in my backyard occasionally. But they have a very large run.

The corid I am doing the dosage that was given on this forum I was just going to look up the dose
