    Hello friends, this is a tricky situation I have. I have a 8-9 year old hen, she has had a broken leg in the past that did not heal well and remained with a bend in it. She has been otherwise okay and usually a VERY picky eater but recently she suddenly was sitting a lot, and couldn't eat...

    I have a swollen up 2-month old hen?!

    Yeah- I didn't do it, but on closer examination it looked more like it was air. Underneath and between her legs is swollen and whenever she moves her leg I can see her bone moving under her skin.

    HELP!! Parasites?

    no, but it's the same worm as before. The medicine I got was a little powder packet with the fenbendazole. The guys at the feed mill told me it was 1/2 packet in the daily feed for 25 hens for 4 days. But it didn't work. :(
