Hey thanks! Would you use both ivermectin and valbazen? I’ve never rescued before but I feel like she really needed it.

Visiting some friends we came across a hen who had lost her flock. We decided to ask if we could bring her home with us and make her part of our flock. She isn’t used to human interaction, and we’re traveling 500 miles with her. Ive loaded her up with melon and grapes, toast, high protein...
