I forgot to say I started them on a garlic/milk kefir/Cayenne concoction today as I read that was a natural de- wormer. what do you all know about that method?

oh my this is all just so much. there are so many differences of opinion on this site and it just makes it all so difficult for someone who doesn't know anything, like me. Carolyn, I read that there was no withdrawal time with this product? and have you successfully gotten rid of worms with the water method? or has it just been a preventative measure? I must say that method is the one that looks more feasible for me right now. but I do want to do the right thing.

Yeah, so sorry. Lots of information, so good, some bad.

If they were mine I would give 0.23 ml per pound orally for 5 days in a row. That amount will treat large roundworms, cecal worms, gapeworms, capillary worms and some species of tapeworms.

When given just one day, as CarolynF did, only large roundworms will be treated.

Safeguard is not approved for laying hens in the US so there *is* a withdrawal, and most people wait 14 days past the last worming.

To the best of my knowledge, no one has done before and after fecals to prove that any of those will treat worms.

i'm going out of town Tuesday so I will only have four days. Isn't there some other way to squirt this medicine into some bread or something and feed it to her? I have no idea how much she weighs! how do i know what type of worms she has? I couldn't find anything in her poop. Maybe I don't know what I'm looking for…? thank you all so much. ...

The only way to find out what worms she has is to get a fecal done.
Otherwise you are just guessing....and you could spend forever guessing on how to fix your chicken.

Let's stop about the worms real quick and go back to the beginning.

You said she has feather loss....that could all be from the mites eating her.
How long ago did you git rid of the mites?
She may just need some extra protein to help grow everything back.
The mites could have done a huge number on her and she may need a little time to recover.

I can only imagine how overwhelming this must be. What breed is she? Let me know and I'll see if I can come up with a plan.
