Chicken with worms on poop

[Jose11632]

Surely enough turns out my chicken was lethargic because she has worms the past few days she’s been acting normal and today too until we took them out and put them back in when I saw her just standing still so I took her in and she started eating and drinking a bit she was lethargic then I saw her poop and I didn’t see anything but then my sister saw little white lines moving and surely they where worms and I’m wondering what’s the best dewormer to give her? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Can you get some photos of the poop and worms?

Safeguard (Fenbendazole) would be good to use. To treat most worms except for Tapeworms, dose your hen at a rate of .23ml per pound of weight orally once a day for 5 days in a row.

It would be best to worm all your birds. If one has them, most likely the others have them as well.

Also should i seperate her or keep her with her friends?

Yes the Safe-guard for goats above is the exact thing you need.
Deworm your entire flock at the same time so they don't continue to pass worms back and forth to each other.
No, there's no need to separate her.

Them eating it reduces the effects though.

DE does nothing to deworm or prevent worms. People get a false sense of security when they use this method and then end up with a worm issue.

Oh ok also weird thing she has 3 other friends a small rooster that I don’t know what breed he is since they gave him to me as a gift he was my first he is a few years old and she has a black australorp and a dark brahma that are about 8 or 9 months and we got 4 eggs from them which is strange unless we forgot to pick one the day before is it possible chickens can lay double in a day. Also here’s a pic of them sleeping in their nest boxes and the one in daytime when they laid and that was not along ago like 2 or 3 days

I was trying to take a picture of it but I couldn’t see them but there was white lines moving so there was worms also would I have to deworm everyone? Yesterday they where all running around in the field.

Diatomaceous Earth is simplest to least expensive.. and non-chemical.. In food.. In dust bath and spread throughout coop, run and roost.. You can even powder their behinds if you want.. won't hurt em'. Keeps down mites.. files and chiggers.
