‼️Please Help! 3 yr old chicken is sick!‼️

[cuichl30]

My three year old golden sexlink hen( she stopped laying eggs a long time ago) is making a weird high pitched noise, breathing from her mouth, and has abnormal poop, and walking is difficult for her. I’ve read online that the high pitched noise could be her possibly trying to expel a parasite.

We recently had another hen pass away due to tumor in her belly area that prevented her from walking propely(she would fall down when she attempted to walk). I’m scared that the same thing would happen to my 3yr old.

Her poop is normal, but very wet.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Diet?
Have you ever wormed them?

That's hogwash, where'd you read that?
Unfortunately, high production breeds often suffer from reproductive issues.

We've never wormed them before. Are there any alternatives to that? Are there any possible medicines? Could apple cider vinegar work?

I read about it here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...ad-shaking-while-eating-video-linked.1151138/, post #5. The squeaking noise from our chicken is the same as in the video.

Thank you!

Ah, the person who mentioned that was not accurate. Out of all the good information in that thread, I'm surprised you decided to go with that poor diagnosis.
No, acv will not worm. Neither will cayenne, pumpkin seeds, Diotomaeceous Earth, garlic, or other herbs.
Do you have a farm store near you? Can you get valbzen fie goats ir safeguard for horse?

Thanks for your help

We have a TSC, but it's a long drive there. I searched on their website, and they have Merck Safe-Guard Horse Dewormer Paste. Would this Safeguard Goat Dewormer from Amazon also work?

Should I follow the steps in the attached picture?
