    Dying hen

    Thanks all for the help... She made it through the night and now is able to hold her head up. Still hasnt ate besides a little yogurt I gave her in the dropper with water. Should I continue to give her yogurt or something else through a dropper? She is not interested in eating anything right now.

    Roundworms

    Thanks everyone for the reponses. What if they do have adult roundworms that didnt show up will it be too much using Safeguard or Valbazen? What the dosages for these?
