Hectorina passed away today and I am crestfallen  :( she seemed to be getting stronger and was eating and drinking well, but she seemed to be struggling all the time to fight the aftermath of the roundworm  :( I guess her little body had gone through too much.

From now on, any new hatchlings we have will be wormed as soon as they are of age, and preventative measures taken, with 6 monthly flubenvet.

Thanks for all the help here x

Sorry to hear that Tasha  :(  I really thought Hectorina would get through it all,  after she weathered the woming treatment and perked up so much.

You did everything you could to get her back to health again and as a result, she did spend her last days feeling better and eating well.  Chickens live to eat, so she would have been enjoying herself and making up for lost time.  You can only chalk it down to experience and move forward.

From now on, any new hatchlings we have will be wormed as soon as they are of age, and preventative measures taken, with 6 monthly flubenvet.

Sounds like an excellent plan  :)

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!
