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.

Dalia, I just saw an article on Riverside that had a list of businesses that have sold out, he stated Bragg's was bought out by " Gill Yates" 😉& now apples with "apeel" the chemical preservative we're being used by Bragg's. So not good for human or animal use. This preservative was compared to p-faas a forever chemical. Once it is in us it's there to stay. I don't & won't buy Bragg's any more.

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!

@randomjoe9400
@randomjoe9400 Месяц назад
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 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).

@@pdnarus1 I don’t measure it. I either sprinkle it on top of their food, I feed fermented food usually. Or I’d dump a scoop full of it in a bucket, full of meal, worms, and coat the meal worms with it really well. They love that. I don’t worry about dosage at all. 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.

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. ?

❤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. 😂

We have an acre and one side is open with no obstacles like fences, power lines, gardens, so they could get in and turn around easily. They took me up on that and dumped about 10-12 yards! It was all elm and willow. Only once when we first moved here did I pay and had 18 yards delivered. That was 17 years ago! On our property we have willow and elm also. The willow breaks down pretty fast but the elm really lasts. We have lots of leaves and we use about 12 inches in the 15x30 ft yard. Whenever we trim trees we chip them for the chicken yard.

I'm not the author and just tossing my two cents in. I love using natural methods to care for my chickens. However, when it comes to gapeworm, it's usually at crisis level before it's noticed. My vet's office recommends Valbazen. Wild birds visiting and soiling waterers, earth worms, and slugs can carry them. With the best efforts, sometimes these things can happen.

One of my chickens is acting Strang she eat and drink perfectly fine yesterday I checked her vent because she had a little poop on her feathers and saw what looks like fly larva so I sprayed some homemade chicken bug spray and I checked today and I don't see any of those bugs that looks like fly larva. She is also acting weak just curious to what that could be and how to prevent it.

Question 👋🏽 I helped my adult chicken recover from coccidiosis at Christmas (it took 2 full months to get her back to her sisters) but she's never quite been the same since. She won't/cant eat treats from the ground, won't fly only walk up to her perch, she's not a fan of her usual feed of layer pellets. She prefers mash. She seems like she's reverted to being a chick. She's otherwise healthy. Any ideas ANYONE? Thanks❤

Did you treat her with antibiotics? If so, she may need some probiotics to get her gut health back to normal.
@anne501s66
@anne501s66 2 месяца назад
@@tabp8448 not antibiotics, we treated her with Amprolium which blocks the parasites ability to uptake and multiply. Once she finished that treatment we gave probiotics to get her gut health back on track. She was really poorly. I think many would have put her down but she's my 10 year olds pet and is very loved so we knew we had to at least try. because she was handled so much by me as I brought her back to health it seems as if she's reverted back to acting like a chick. I also think she may have lost some vision in one eye

Hi Dalia! I'm a big fan and have been watching your channel for a long time. I take pride in my chickens and I love them so much. But after work this evening, my little broody bantam has abandoned her eggs and looked really poorly. I checked her over and she was covered in lice! Her tail had clusters of eggs. She's really pale and can hardly stand! Yesterday she looked totally fine. Im horrified. They have a dust bath but she clearly hasn't been using it. 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! 😓

@@janetspiritofthelivinggod6328 I am taking her out several times a day so she will eat and drink a little. I also close the door when it’s free- range time. It’s been frustrating because she gets agitated and runs back in. But, last evening, she actually stayed outside and ran around and scratched for awhile before running back in. That was huge! Usually, she sits on the ground and does nothing, like she’s in a trance! She’s been top hen and I saw her trying to assert herself again, too. Hopeful, she won’t starve herself!

If it's really hot I would stop the ACV and switch to electolytes during that time. It's not like it's super dangerous for them but it's thought to affect their calcium absorption.
