Balance problems

Yes, she is still inside in a cage. I have not treated her for worms or cocci. Not sure what to do for either. Thanks for the reply!

You can try to get her eating by offering a little cooked egg and a mash of chicken feed mixed with warm water. I like to use either a spoonful of plain yogurt or cottage cheese for probiotics, and they seem to like it mixed in food. You can experiment with different foods, such as tuna, liver, hamburger, or my chicken’s favorite, canned cat food. It probably would not hurt to treat with some Corid for 5-7 days, and worm with some Valbazen or SafeGuard. I can give dosages.

Which exact kind of valbazen or safeguard do I get? I looked at tractor supply online and found safeguard for horses, goats and cattle, and the valbazen was showing over $400, so is there a better place for that?

Valbazen comes in smaller bottles of 500 ml and is available online, although I have seen it in Rural King and Southern States. TSC never carries it. Valbazen is a cattle/sheep wormer, and the Safeguard Liquid Goat Wormer is good to use, although some use the Equine wormer.
Valbazen dosage is 0.08 ml per pound given once and again in 10 days. Safeguard dosage is 0.25 ml per pound given for 3-5 straight days. Here is a link for buying Valbazen:

Nor that it matters for this chick, but is there any egg withdrawal for either of those wormers?

 

[Eggcessive]

Yes, most wormers like those above, require a 14 day egg withdrawal time after the last dose. Some ignore that and eat them anyway, but there may be some residue.
