She doesn't appear to have a heavy worm load nor blackhead, I believe you are dealing with a laying issue, Her abdomen looks swollen..impacted oviduct or internal layer maybe?

How many days is the treatment with Wazine? Do I just give them one dose and then no more for ten days or do I dose them for a few days?
Wazine is a one day wormer, Mixed at 1oz per gallon of water grown birds only needs to consume a tad over 2 1/2 oz's of the mixture to be effective...

Wazine will expell more roundworms all at once and do it quicker than Valbazen and Safeguard combined..I't is mild when it comes to species of worms affected. But for roundworms no other wormer can hold a candle to it, That is if i't hasn't been used year after year on the same flock

I will quarantee you that you won't find Gapeworms with a Q-tip in a 7 month old bird, I'ts impossible to get deep enough with a reg Q-Tip.. Most liklely you are dealing with a respiratory issue..with the smell, I'll say Coryza
Hey Bryce,
All it takes is for the wind to blow the ooccysts into the brooder, Flies or even on your clothes, They will sporulate on any thing damp..I would get some Corid, If you cant find that get Sulmet..where are you getting your feed?
I't doesn't matter, Diluted, Undiluted or on bread. The effects are the same..just whatever way is simplest for you..Most find giving 1/2 cc undiluted is the easiest way..Peter's idea behind mixing it with water is for better gut coverage..I't works either way, but 1/2 cc is eaiser to give than...
Ive used Valbazen for years, never known of a reaction in chickens ..Though San Diego Zoo is finding Valbazen and fenbendazole toxic to pigeons and doves

Ivermectin won't kill lice.Lice feed on the feathers,dander and dry skin., Their fluid intake is from the eyes and vent.. Sevin dust is way more effective applied once and repeated two weeks later

If dry ice is on the plane, they have the right to delay , Even if i'ts next day before another plane is available..I know this is for chicks..not sure about grown birds..So the guarantee is null with baby chicks
