We took in this hen as a rescue, then noticed her eye on one side. Is this Ocular Merek's or something else? And if it's something else, what might it be? No other hens from her flock showed any kind of symptoms. I appreciate any help.

Name: Uncle Dan
Age: 1.5 Yrs

Uncle Dan makes us laugh on a daily basis. He is absolutely beautiful and even has a full beard. But he freaks out right along with the hens at anything slightly alarming. He likes to dance for the hens, but usually ends...

You are right, it is 22.2%. So for my pea-sized brain, how do I know how much of this packet of powder to mix in how much water? It says "each packet treats 40 lbs". If my hen weighs 4 pounds, that would be 1/10 of my packet, but since it's essentially double the strength, it would then be...
Does anyone know if I can give my chickens canine fenbendazole? I happen to have it on hand for my dogs, but am quite sure I have a hen with worms. If so, how much of this powder to 1/2 gallon of water?
I have a hen that I'm quite sure has worms and is not doing well, so I need to work fast. Her friend recently died of the same thing. I have canine fenbendazole dewormer on hand. How much of this powder can I safely mix in 1/2 gallon of water to give her and the other chickens?
