Chicken with bad worms?
« on: June 24, 2011, 17:37 »
I have recently wormed all my birds with flubenvet, but have one hen who I think has a bad infestation and is quite poorly.  She has stopped laying, gone quite, lost a massive amount of weight and her poos are small and green and yellow.

I don't really want to dose the whole flock (of 4!) with flubenvet again, so I was wondering if there is a product that I can give just her which will quickly get rid of the worms and hopefully save her?

Many thanks for your help!
Totally obsessed with all things chicken!

Hello Chicken Lickin

I am sorry to hear about your hen  :(

I am not an expert but you could try to take her temperature.  You do this by feeling under the wing of one of your other girls then under her wing to see if she feels any warmer.

Have you checked her vent and her crop?

I'm sure someone more experienced will be along to advise you.  Good Luck and keep us posted.
