9 year old hen with pale comb, almost no tail feathers, now moving slow and less interested in food/treats

Oh, that's wonderful! I'm glad they all took the bread and things worked out just fine.

I see you had some good questions, and I think @Eggcessive and @dawg53 have covered those better than I could have.

Not only did I actually worm them, they were all alive and well this morning. Yeah, perhaps Anola is not eating as ravenously as I'd like but all's well. Corid treatment underway- will do at least 5 days, maybe 7 for good measure, at 2t/gallon. Thanks goodness for this forum.

You're doing good!

Update: After a bit of mourning and moping over losing Goldie, Anola is mostly good. She roosts alone, does not want to share her roosting space with the teenagers. But they eat together and get along. All eating well.

And guess what? Buttcheeks started squatting! I'd always thought Olive would lay first-- she's had a red comb for at least six weeks. But I believe the first egg was from Buttcheeks, because it's blue. (Olive is an olive egger) It was in a corner of the coop on the floor, not in one of the nice nesting boxes with pads then hay, then nesting herbs and fake eggs and curtains. It was actually in a pile of poop from roosting above that corner. But it was an egg! And the next day, a greenish egg in one of the nesting boxes. First I thought Buttcheeks must have laid 2 days in a row but that did not seem likely, and then as the egg sat out in the tray, I realized it really is a slighty different color.

So they not only survived worming and a round of Corid, I believe they've all gained weight and the teens are starting to lay. Bolstered by all this I went and bought four 8-wk old pullets, who will be the next additions to the flock after a month of quarantine. (yeah, they look scruffy and they are quite feral but give me a few weeks.)
Thank you all again for your help.
