[j2had2]

I would forget the herbs, and go get some Equimax horse paste to treat for tapeworms. There are at least 2 large segmented flat tapeworms at 12 and 2 o’clock in the picture. There are a few segments, and I am not sure if there are roundworms or if that is straw or bedding. There is a large amount of red intestinal lining. If you get the Equimax, give the chicken 0.16 ml orally for a 5 pound chicken. Repeat in 14 days. I am going to tag @dawg53 if he agrees. If you can’t get Equimax at your feed store, they may have Zimectrin Gold, and the dosage is different, so I can figure that.

Tapeworms have an intermediate host, such as earthworms, flies, snails and slugs, grasshoppers, and beetles. The chicken gets tapeworm from these insects that eat the tapeworm eggs or the segments that contain many eggs. Ridding your area of these intermediate hosts and cleaning up droppings may help eliminate the problem.

Only treat the chickens who are passing these tapeworms, since it it not necessary to treat all chickens. Give it orally and not in their water to make sure they get the proper dose.

i also have no clue which one it is… one of them has a pale comb so maybe that one? all of them eat like pigs and are active

What is your location? Can you isolate the hen with the pale comb overnight in a dog crate or pan, and monitor what her droppings look like in the morning? I would offer her some bits of liver or cooked hamburger for iron, in case she is anemic. Some poultry vitamins have some as well. I would urge you to get the wormer. Several wormers have the praziquantel that is the treatment for tapeworms. Droncit or Drontal are tablets used in dogs and cats for tapeworm as well. The horse wormers I mentioned in my last post are the easiest to find. Equimax is sold here and at other stores online:

I don’t think you understand that tapeworm will not work its way out of the system. I would look for a chicken that may be pale and skinny or who has lost weight. Then isolate them overnight, take some pictures of droppings to post. You may see white specks like rice that may be moving in a fresh dropping, or the long stringy flat and segmented tapeworms that contain hundreds of tapeworm eggs. No herbal remedy will work against tapeworms. Here is a good video of the tapeworm segments:
