Broody hen has worms

[marionsimeri]

Hi, We have a broody hen that has one more week to sit before hatch. We noticed some worms in her poo today. Can she be wormed now, and what should we use.? We don't want the babies to catch it too. Thank you for any advice, we are pretty new at this.

I think it is Wazine 17 I am not sure. I wouldn't think it would effect the chicks if you did it now. I think the worms come out with this med so you might be better off doing now before the chicks are born.

Here is a site with different things, just go to w and read up on worms and see if that helps. I use this page a lot for my chickens.
