Wazine is no longer available.
TSC employees are not the best place for advice.

That's disappointing to hear.
That's why I specified that /my/ TSC's employees know what they're talking about. Most of them keep chickens and quite a few breed and show them. YMMV.
Edit: It was actually a TSC employee who told me about these forums. If you are there, wonderful TSC employee, thank you!

Go to Tractor Supply or your usual feed tsore and get SafeGuard liquid goat wormer. Get a couple of 3 ml syringes and remove the needles. Give her 0.25 ml (1/4 ml) per pound of weight orally a little at a time, letting her swallow. Treat again in 10 days. Throw out eggs for 24 days. Do you know how much she weighs?

 

[dawg53]

Those are large roundworms. In addition to what Eggcessive stated, you can also use Valbazen liquid cattle/sheep wormer. Dosage is 1/2cc given orally to each chicken, repeat dosing in 10 days.
You can purchase it by ordering from Jefferspet.com
It would be best to worm all your birds.

Sorry, not that absolutely every TSC employee is bad with chicken advice...
...but I've seen too many newbies led astray by them not to mention it.
Have gotten, and heard given, some bad stuff at my local.

I will keep that in mind. also something random aart, I see your posts everywhere on BYC, how can you respond to so many posts? do you have a job here?
