9 year old hen with pale comb, almost no tail feathers, now moving slow and less interested in food/treats
Endocox aka Toltrazuril is more in line for treating severe cases of the protozoa that causes blood in feces or when Corid is ineffective. Corid is not an antibiotic, it is a Thiamine blocker. It's best to start with the Corid unless you're seeing blood in feces. You saw roundworms in feces...- dawg53

Possible Respiratory Infection? Tiagard? Natural Alternatives?
As mentioned by @Eggcessive, Tiagard only treats Mycoplasma Gallisepticum (MG.) MG is very contagious and easily spreads to other birds. You stated that you recently cleaned their coop and run. Did you use certain detergents or chemicals to clean the coop to cause a reaction with your rooster...- dawg53

Visually impaired Barred Rock with blood in stool but behavior is normal
I agree with @Wyorp Rock. Change 2: Go ahead and start the Safeguard and the Equimax at the same time. Dose the rest of your birds with the Safeguard only since they arnt showing tapeworm segments in feces. Just for your info; blood in feces can be caused by worms.- dawg53

What are the sores on my chickens feet, vet says not Bumblefoot
Your vet is correct, it's not bumblefoot. It's footpad dermatitis. Here's an article on how to treat it: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/early-stages-of-contact-dermatitis-foot-pad-dermatitis.78413/- dawg53

Limp - but why?!
It takes time for leg injuries to heal depending on the severity. If you've ever sprained an ankle, it also takes time to heal depending on the severity.- dawg53

Valbazen & Corid heat exposure question:
Valbazen: I'd use it for my birds since there wasnt any direct sunlight. If it had been outside in the heat with direct sunlight and the bottle felt warm, I'd dispose of it. Same for the Corid.- dawg53

Albendazole sold in smaller amounts.
Ugh, I see they went up in price for the 500ml bottle. It was about $20 cheaper per bottle just a few months ago. Glad I bought two bottles back then.- dawg53

Impact gizzard
If in fact it's an impacted gizzard, give her tomato juice orally via syringe without needle. Give her a total of 10ml, slow administration 1/4ml at a time. Pull her wattles down and her mouth will open, let go of the wattles as soon as you give her the 1/4ml, so she can swallow the liquid...- dawg53
