Coccidiosis or Worms?

Photos?

Can you please post photos of your Pullet and her poop?
What do you feed, including treats?

Possible it may be Coccidiosis and/or worms. Her getting better when separated out with feed, PND, etc. then getting worse after being with the flock for a few days is a bit of concern.

Is she being picked on or kept from food/water?

Yes, you separate her out treat Just Her for Coccidiosis and worms if you wish to do that. OR if you wish to leave her with her friends, then treat all for Coccidiosis and just treat Her for worms since the worm medication is given orally daily anyway.

You can find Safeguard 10%Liquid Goat Dewormer at stores like TSC, it will be the easiest dewormer to source. Valbazen (Albendazole) is a little hard to find at the moment and it does have to be ordered.


=================================
Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Do not add any extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.

=================================
To treat most worms that poultry can have except for Tapeworm you can use Safeguard (Fenbendazole) or Valbazen (Albendazole). Both are given orally by weight; they do not mix well with water.

Safeguard 10% Liquid Goat Dewormer or 10% Equine Paste dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
Here's how to give oral medications:

Food sounds pretty good to me.

If she eats better with the flock and is not bullied, then I agree with, I'd leave her with the flock.

Hopefully she'll improve with the Corid.

I think a few others were having issues with photos, I'm not sure what the problem is, a glitch in the site or??

Anyway, you may find the tutorial below helpful.

Yes, super frustrating not being able to actually post photos to give a better vision to those who I need help from, but I am so grateful you reached out and offered advice! It's been a huge help! Today my hen is acting more up beat, eating now and her tale feathers are pointed up instead of down like they have been the past week, she's still weak but is showing improvement just within 2 days of treatment. She is happier with the flock and they all seem to treat her as normal despite her not feeling well and being weak. She flew up to the roosting bars last night and even came out this morning on her own ( I've had to go get her down and put her up at night). I also noticed that her beak was over grown on one side and it may have made it difficult to eat as the bottom beak would catch when trying to open. But we were able to trim it and get it functioning the correct way. Fingers crossed she will continue to get better! Thanks again for taking the time to offer help to me!

It's good to hear she's improving!

Keep me posted.
