My White Leghorn hen, Blanca, has worms. Again. She first got worms a couple months ago, and she started waddling around like a penguin and getting slow and exhausted-looking. We moved her to a cage in the garage and bought medicine for her that treats hookworms, tapeworms, and roundworms, and she was better in a matter of days. Well, she's got the same exact problem again and this time the medicine isn't working. Why not?
