[decomposed]

my friend has 2 young hens and yesterday they started just laying down and they wont stand up their heads are drooping kind of like they are drifting off to sleep im wondering what this could be and is there anything we can do for the girls?

Consider worming them with valbazen liquid cattle/sheep wormer or safeguard liquid goat wormer.

Take to a vet if possible. If not, bring inside where it's warm.

would it be alright to give them worming meds and antibiotics at the same time?

Thanks, think I'm going to get him to the vet if he makes it through the weekend.
He has real bad frostbite on his wattles and comb also.

Been giving him water through a dropper and hand feeding him scrambles eggs and scratch.
Have him in the house where it is warm.
He acts like he is sleeping alot.

Going to keep doing what I can to help him until Monday when the vet opens.
