Hen gasping for air

[LaFleche]

I know gapeworm is suggested way too frequently, and it's really pretty rare, but could that be a possibility perhaps?

Not if you dewormed her recently like you said you did.

I have never dewormed my chickens, only my ducks. The chickens have never shown any signs of having worms.

Oh, my bad.

I got mixed up, sorry.

If you have never dewormed them, I would start immediateley as carrying a worm load through winter months will make it harder for them to stay healthy.

How often can you give her medications? Once a day? Twice? Three?

I guess it would depend on the day, but I'd probably be able to manage 2 or 3 times.

Ok, thank you.

I ask because Tylan works best when given 3-4 times a day. How much does she weigh?

I have not weighed her. I can shortly but I'm going to guess around 5 pounds.
Ok, I can probably do that.

 

[casportpony]

Let me know how much she weighs.

Everyone wanted to go to town and see if there was any black Friday stuff left so I just gave her some panacur quick to see if it helped at all. I gave her some soaked catfish food too which she ate.
