Did you open his intestines to look for the worms when you butchered him?

Good question! I have a necropsy picture that shows how small cecal worms are if anyone wants to see it.Did you open his intestines to look for the worms when you butchered him?
hmmm. Watching this thread too. Whatever my hen has seems to be clearing up on its own as long as it isn't hot outside, but then her eggs aren't soft, just the watery poo, going to do ACV in the water. Her eggs aren't as soft and her stool is not as explosive so perhaps not as severe. Just processed a roo and he didn't have worms and she was his favorite hen to pester so I'm thinking she is not wormy.

When I said my hen's poos were watery, I mean watery. The only thing I could compare it to is a cat peeing in a litter box. I would be scooping clumps of sand out of the coop. I tried just about everything. Then she started up with swollen crusty eyes, and I decided to bring in the big guns. She's been on Tylan 50 for 3 days now, along with Terramycin ointment, and is finally showing improvement. I couldn't have done it without the help of wonderful and knowledgeable people on this forum!!!
Fish Zole is metronidazole, so I'd keep giving that. Let me check drug interactions on Valbazen and Fish Zole, but I'm pretty sure there are none. Metronidazole and Corid can be given at the same time, so thnk about that.

Hi there! I have an 8 month old hen who has had similar symptoms for the last few months and I'm wondering how things turned out with your baby. She drinks an incredible amount of water throughout the day which seems to literally pass right through her! Her poo is explosive water with tiny bits of solid. The vet put her on a round of Doxycycline which helped a little but symptoms returned shortly after finishing the antibiotics.When I said my hen's poos were watery, I mean watery.
