Thank you, can you recommend a dewormer that is safe to use and available over the counter? Last year we had a hen poop out a roundworm. At the time, we had an amazing vet that saw chickens that prescribed something to put in the flocks water. He has since left the practice and they don't currently have an exotics vet that sees chickens so that option is out. I've never used anything else and haven't been able to find anything approved for use so I'm assuming I'd have to do off label.My first thought was worm or protazoic infection.
I've seen one of my hen's vomit but she got into my compost which has a lot of mold and biological activity for decomposition.
It's important to deworm the flock yearly. As a safe measure to keep them healthy. And it's one less thing to scratch off when diagnosing a sick bird.
