The vet recommended ivomec orally but sunce i had ivermectin pour on she said try it. She is not a chicken vet just trying to help. This waa only 5 days ago.Did the vet not recommend a de-wormer?
I'm not sure how effective Ivermectin pour-on would be for Capillary worms. You can use Safeguard (fenbendazole) to treat those - dosage is 1/4ml per 1 pound of weight given for 5 days in a row. Alternatively you could use Praziquantel
The crop not emptying is concerning, she may still have an overload of worms or something else going on. See that she has plenty of water to drink, massage the crop and introduce some coconut oil into her. Try to determine if the crop is sour, impacted, slow, etc. This Article may help. I would try to keep her on softer foods if possible since things like apple, beans, etc., are harder to process. Wet feed or mashed egg would be good.
