Dirty chicken bums

| Hi all- I am sure this has been asked… I am a fairly new chicken owner and am struggling with some of my flock having dirty butts. I have added roosty’s flock armor but it has not helped at all. It doesn’t smell yeasty and isn’t yellow so I don’t think it’s vent fleet. We currently have 15 chickens and 1 rooster, of them I’d say probably 6 have dirty butts. Is best practice to soak and then deworm? Or something else? It’s starting to warm up where we live and I don’t want them to experience fly strike. I have fenbendazole that I can add to their water. I do have questions about that… how do you ensure they are consuming the proper dosage each day? Notes about coop/living area: Pic of an angry lady getting a bath for tax [link] [comments] |
