That’s what I was thinking. Well I just switched to Kalmbach for multiple reasons, but I do not like this new way of dating plus it’s about $10 more per bag compared to the Neutrena I was using from TSC. I want fresh food for my flock so I will be looking for a different brand. I have 11...

Here is a recent picture of the bag of my Kalmbach hen house reserve feed that I ordered from Chewy. Can u tell me what the date is?

I finished the 3rd deworming. What do you recommend for egg withdrawal on safeguard goat & Valbazen? I am going to buy more of both kinds for next time I have to deworm. I am noticing that a couple of my other chickens are developing runny poops & starting to have dirty butt. (Gabby with the...

Awesome! I’m going to check my feed bags now! I would have never known that. Thank you so much! I learn something new from you guys every day!!❤️😎

Good information. I have never thought to look for a mill date on feed bags, but I will now!! Where do you typically find it on the bag?

How did your hen do after that bad molt inside? I have found that it’s best to bring them out to the coop at night works the most peacefully. Then in the morning I sit with them to make sure the others aren’t picking on her & bring them back inside if they start to get picked on. I think mine...

I ordered a 100 box of 1ml syringes yesterday & what I’ll do in the future if needed is divide the dose for each bird into 2 syringes. Could you please confirm if I should repeat this treatment of safeguard 10% goat wormer in 10-14 days?

Yep, that’s what I have been giving & dosing off what you told me. I didn’t know how to do the math before you showed me. I’ve gotten better at it today so I will stick with the safeguard goat, but it would be nice to have many oral syringes so I can have each birds dose drawn up ahead of time...

That clarifies alot! I didn’t know there was a difference btwn the 2 safeguards. The picture (offset to the right) I had attached of the goat kind with vets text (offset to the left of the screen) screenshot was taken by me & sent to my vet to make sure I had the correct product. He never got...

Mites, lice & fleas will probably curse me next. That’s another reason that I am cleaning out all the coop bedding this wknd. While I have the coop emptied out & the chickens are in the run what would anyone suggest I use to sprinkle or spray around to deter the external parasites & also be...

It’s so hard to know what to do with this gapeworm problem being I have read different methods of treatment & it’s not a commonality with everyone. Has anyone out there ever had a gapeworm diagnosis & had success with controlling the nasty buggers? She has been through so much. She a tough...

Then this may be why it didn’t work when I originally suspected gapeworm in her back in November. I had her separated & treated her with safeguard goat liquid in water back then & just prior to that I had done a preventative Ivermectin pour on drops on each neck base on everyone for worms &...

Dang it anyway, the cold is good for nothing!! Yes I originally started with it their water & a couple ppl on this thread told me that that is not effective enough so yesterday I gave it to them each by hand & was covered in more of the white liquid than I think I got in their mouths.

Thank you, that was a great post. I think I might go pick up some Valbazen since the dose is about half the volume & might be easier to get into them. Do you see any harm in switching over? They have a 2 days dose of safeguard in them now. Can you clarify if I should be cleaning out the coop...

Wow Meds are hard to give 15 chickens!! That was pretty much a disaster & not sure that each one swallowed the whole dose😫🤯. I only got half of them done. I weighed each one. Here’s what we have for chicken weights: 3 @ 3 lbs 3 @ 4 lbs 8 @ 5 lbs 1 @ 7 lbs Is there a better way of getting...

AWESOME!!! That helps me tons & I feel more confident in dosing them & avoiding overdosing anyone!!😊

Thank you for answering. Our run & coop are less than a year old. •The run has our natural ground sandy soil with 2 straw bales & straw on the ground for them to scratch around in & keep their feet warmer. •The coop has pine shavings on an untreated plywood floor. We also have a poop...

Welcome to the way my life rolls😂 anything out of the ordinary seems to happen to me 🫣. Thank goodness for you fellow chickeners to help me through my first year of chicken keeping. I got my first 4 chicks March 17 2022 ☘️. Maybe not such a lucky day in my world…LOL. So for gapeworm treatment...

Sorry, I do still have questions from my reply post last night at 8:14 pm. I tagged you in that post. Maybe you didn’t see that one because I posted a few posts. My vet is not answering my questions. He is so busy & I get the sense that he doesn’t see chickens as pets. To him $3 chickens...

I ask additional questions on here because my vet does not enjoy chickens as patients & I’d like to know what else to do to rid of the worms & eggs & help Gabbys issue of diarrhea stop. Gabby started vomiting up clear fluid (she hasn’t done this for weeks now) & splattery poops again tonight &...
