Chicken is constantly wheezing with occasional sneezing PLEASE HELP!

I'm new to raising chickens, so I didn't know when it was appropriate to deworm. If you can kindly tell me, how to deworm chickens, I would appreciate that. I'll be sure to do it to the rest of my other chickens to protect them... Are worms contagious? Are my other chickens in danger to this?

So sorry for your loss @Queenpython If one in your flock has worms, quite likely the others do also. Here's a blog on how I worm my personal flock and with what types of products. Please keep in mind that many dewormers available OTC are not intended for use in laying hens because safe egg withdrawal times have not been established. So please use extreme caution if consuming eggs from hens that have been recently given dewormer.

My opinion based on the symptoms you describe is that your bird had one of the many respiratory infections that chickens can get.

Safeguard or fenbendazole is approved for poultry, and should only be given orally, as it settles out in water. Same for Valbazen. Valbazen is a wormer albendazole that is approved for humans as well as sheep or cattle. Many of us use it because it is safe. There is a lot of misinformation about pumpkin seeds being an effective wormer, and it doesn’t treat a worm infestation.
