Who saw the mystery chicken? 😜🤫 Remember, if you believe you have an active infestation in your flock, it's always best to work with a licensed veterinarian (if possible!) so that you can find out exactly what parasite you're dealing with and treat accordingly. If you desire, you can always do a synthetic dewormer and then work on prevention using natural means. Do what works best for YOUR specific situation and follow your heart! No one knows better than you what's best for your flock.

Thank you for all your help with chickens Dalia! It's very much appreciated. It's very expensive to send fecal samples to the vet, but there is a lab that you can send fecal samples to test your animals for internal parasites. It's not nearly as expensive as taking samples to the vet. I believe it's called Mid-America Ag Research. I've sent goat, horse, dog and chicken fecal samples there. If you send 10 or more samples, it's only like $7.00 per sample. Hope this helps!

I have all this natural remedies, I use also fire cider and tanacetum ( this is well known as a dewormer plant). Chicks hatched in the incubator have a low hymmune system and can get easier coccidiosis. If you have already coccidiosis it's really hard to save your flock, you have to give a specific remedy prescribed from your vet and to get it your coop must be registered; I was able to save just two of 9 chicks from coccidiosis thanks to my vet. So my suggestion is to start the natural prevention from the beginning and at least until they are two months old, the risk starts mostly wen you put them on grass ( this is what happened to me).

DE doesn't do anything for parasites. It's a common myth. DE kills bugs because it's microscopically sharp. It cuts and dehydrates them to death. If DE gets wet, it doesn't work. When chickens eat it, it immediately becomes wet. Studies have shown that the silica in DE helps chickens build stronger bones though, so it's still good to add a small amount to their feed.

I saw the mystery chicken at the 4:23 mark, but I'd have to go through a bunch of videos and pay particular attention to see if it was named to make a positive ID. Anthelmintic is pronounced like "ant hell mint ick" but just with all those words uttered one right up against the other in one fluid vocalization. 100 % friendly... yep! ---- Backyard chicken education... brilliant!!! and intertainment... Fun indeed! And rest assured WE LOVE IT!!! 😍💗

I grew up on farms/ranches and had friends who raised goats. There was one mountainside that mixed in with the mesquite brush a lot of rosemary, thyme, other herbal plants growing wild up there. I would see not only the goats, deer, wild boar eat on those bushes but wild turkey, quail, pheasants also eating seeds from those shrubs, herb plants. I figure if most wild animals know how to find and eat plants, seeds etc. that are helping to keep them healthy why wouldn't it work for domestic chickens, ducks, etc. ?

I usually do it two or three days in a row. Skip a week then do another two or three days. A couple times randomly through the year. I will just do one dose. If the eggs start getting a little poopy if I put diatomaceous earth in the food, it will clear up in 24 hours and there won’t be any more poopy eggs. so you could do it once a year, two or three times a year. Whatever works. also, twice a year I clean out the coop really really well and I’ll sprinkle food grade DE all over the place before I put in new bedding. It’s a good all around item to use.

❤Deborahtorp, I've always used wood chips out in the chicken yard. Not fine ones. Like chips from a wood chipper. The fine ones break down too fast. Use a really thick layer, about 6-10 inches to start. As the years go by, the constant rototilling by your chickens will stir into the chips all the poop and you won't have flies or smell. After a year, rake back a spot and dig with a shovel. It should be compost and soft as potting soil! Use it everywhere! It takes a few years for the soil, wood chips and poop to blend and compost, but it WILL and it's wonderful! As the chips get shallower and shallower, add another 3-4 inches of chips and or all your fall LEAVES! The girls LOVE LEAVES! Just keep topping off the materials and your girls will till it in for you. That will keep them out of the mud and make the best potting soil you've ever seen! All the time I have people ask me for buckets of chicken dirt. I tell them bring a bucket(s) and I hand them a rake and shovel. It's composting w/o all the work. 😂

I fed her a raw egg with some vitamins in it, cut off the louse egg feathers, covered her in natural louse powder and applied ivermectin. Some of the others have them too. What do i do to totally get rid of them? I can't believe it, they look so healthy but they're suddenly infested! 😓
