She is 1 yr 1/2. I haven't wormed her yet. I do have a wormer specially for chickens though if that would work? I'm not sure if she wants to eat. She did sneeze yesterday which seemed to help but I have not seen her sneeze today. No yellow matter or mucus in her throat.
Poultry Dewormer 5x (Fenbendazole capsules) by RNA Supplements.
I'd take the Poultry Dewormer 5X back and get the Liquid Goat dewormer which is much easier to dose.
If you wish to use the Dewormer 5X then read this whole thread so you give the correct dosing. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/are-these-normal-poops.1553393/
How can I tell that it is gapeworm? So far whatever is stuck has not been able to get out of her throat. Checked her throat again with a good flashlight, absolutely nothing to be seen. She doesn't seem to be drinking water or eating feed, so I syringed her about 6 mls of water with a teaspoon of homeade chicken electrolytes. I did deworm her with the chicken dewormer and I can't afford the liquid goat dewormer at the moment, unfortunately. Any ideas on what to feed her while she is in this state? As I said, she does not want to eat chicken feed.
Some of the healthier things mine will wolf down are drained tuna (in water), scrambled eggs, sugar-free Greek yogurt with fruit added to it. If you can find a watermelon, that would hydrate her too. You could try wetting her food to make it soft. For some reason, our adults think that's a treat. I'd also add a bit of vitamins to her water or a couple drops in whatever food you can get her to eat.
A fecal float would tell you if it's Gapeworm.
