Broody hen and worms

[Harmoni]

My broody is on day 3 of sitting on fertilzed eggs. She finally came out aftet not coming out for 2 days (I was starting to worry) and her poop was huge, liquidy and had worms.
No other symptoms in the other birds or even her.
What is the best treatment that is easy to administer and effective against I am assuming roundworms? See attached picture.
And it is typical for the worms to be dead in droppings, right? Could she have had a small worm load and the holding of poop increased it?

Do not overthink this. She needs to be wormed. Safeguard goat wormer paste will work splendidly on round worms. Just get it and do it. And treat the rest of the chickens, even though you see no worms in their poop.

Here's something else to be concerned about, though. The swarms of worms in that poop indicates a heavy load. Worming a hen with a heavy load can send her into shock. So you will need to do a couple extra steps with her.

First, give her Gatoraid or sugar water with a pinch of salt and baking soda following the worm medicine. Then repeat it a few times over the day following worming.

Next, on the day following worming, give her a molasses flush to help flush the dead worms out of her intestines so they don't form an obstruction that can also kill her along with untreated shock.

So many times on this site, we learn of a hen that has died after worming. These additional steps can save your hen's life.

Thanks! I already supplied her with save a chick electrolytes before I saw the worms because I hadn't seen her drink in a day or so.

Should I provide her with electrolytes or actually make her drink it?

How do I do a molasses flush?

She will drink it. Just supply it in lieu of plain water.

Dissolve one teaspoon molasses in one-fourth cup warm water and remove the electrolytes while she's drinking that so she gets it all down. Wait to do the molasses flush until the wormer has worked for 24 hours. Then be sure to give her the electrolytes solution for 48 hours after worming.
