What's her diet? Have you ever wormed her?

Do you have multiple feed and water stations in case she is bullied or low in pecking order? Is there any food in her crop? Has she started to get in the nest boxes and lay eggs yet? What is the rest of your flock like—older hens, roosters, cockerels, etc?

She eats cracked corn and feed . I have wormed her before with garlic and apple cider vinegar in the water . She also eats fresh vegetables and fruit as a treat once in a while

Cut out the corn and get a feed with atleast 17% protein.
Garlic and acv aren't wormers and garlic is toxic to chickens. They didn't do diddly jack. Get a real wormer and dose accordingly.

Valbzen for goats will work for everything except tapeworm. You can get it online or the feedstore.
