Blood and worms- please help

[Nmeng]

Hello!

I posted earlier about my chicks about having coccoidicia and started treatment for that today. Wouldn’t it be my luck, I went out to my adult hens pen and noticed one hen with diarrhea, pieces of solid poop with blood annndddd worms. I am beside myself. I just treated with ivermectin on Feb 19th for leg mites and all seemed well other than my girls combs are a little pale (nothing super noticable but I know my girls) I chalked it up to moulting but clearly I am wrong.

Do I treat for coccicidia? Do I treat with ivermectin again? I read I shouldn’t do both- so I don’t know the best course of action. I feel like a chicken mom failure.

It is hard to help because we don't have a picture. Do you have a picture or a description?

Well all the poop is cleaned up now. There was med brown tar like poop and slightly watery. There was normal poop with a little blood mucus mixed, and then there was normal looking poop with the itty bitty rice looking worms.

Other than their combs turning a little pale, only one has a poopy butt so I assume that’s the one with the watery/tar poop.

I am not OP, but I was reading and found this thread. This was from about 2 weeks ago, happened for two days then it hasn’t happened again.
My girls have a large run and most days fly over the fence and free range out in the yard. No one seems off or sick.

We feed them a ‘harvest 4 grain’ feed and their water has either vinegar or a vitamin/probiotic mix most days.
They do drink water from the dogs bowl when they free range the yard, and that bowl has a piece of copper in it and is refreshed daily.
The coop is cleaned twice a day and I feed them scratch every day, too.
I know which hen it is and she seems just fine.
Are those worms in there? It sure looked like it
Thank you!

@Nmeng Were the worms like the ones in this video? If so, those are tapeworms, and Equimax horse paste with praziquantel is what is needed to treat them. Let me know if they are like those, and I will give you the dosage. Tractor Supply sells Equimax.

I don’t see a video? But this is what they look like. (The worms) no pic of the slightly bloody stool.

Sorry, here is the video:

It looks like the cecal poop in the picture does have tapeworm segments. Tapeworms and other worms may cause blood in droppings. I would get the Equimax horse past from your feed store or TSC. Give 0.16 ml orally for a 5 pound chicken, and then repeat it in 14 days.

Will ivermectin cover these worms too?
