But they all look healthy and no evidence of anything in their poo. Their weren't any chickens out there for at least 5 years before I got chickens.

I didnt see any either. poop looked normal . didnt see them til after they were wormed and that is normal. Chickens eat earth worms ?
 
sounds to me Red like everyone thinks you should give your egg a blow job.

Ivermectin has lost all efficacy against worms.  Use the Wazine again. 

With that worm load, there was no chance for the poor guy to heal.  Probably was worms that weakened him to the point he injured his leg.  I would give him more time to see if he can recover better, now that he's not fighting the parasites.



should I use the wazine on him too or the safe guard again ?  wazine only does round worms . I put it in the coops water . so I really dont know if they all got what they needed . I would really like to buy some more safeguard and give it down the hatch but no way I can do this myself . would like to trim their nails and put some ivermectin on them at the same time.
Granny I use a big bath towel when I have to treat my birds & don't have help. If you take the towel & wrap them snuggly they settle down pretty good. Just make sure you don't cover their heads or they can smother. Putting a little scrap of something over their eyes help relax them too. I've got some pretty big roosters & have been able to do them myself that way. I have a nifty little shelf on the outside of one of the runs. Its made to hold a 5 gallon bucket that connects to a watering system. I put my supplies on that, I measure out the safeguard in the syringe before I even go get the bird. I've got a milk crate to sit on so as soon as I catch the bird, I wrap it in the towel, hold it upright between my legs, then dose them. To clip nails I lay them across my lap wrapped in the towel with the birds head sorta wedged up by my arm pit. This gives me both hands to work with. I have also had one bird bleed so bad after snipping her nails & I didn't even clip but a tiny tip. And I couldn't even get any of the bloodstop stuff, flour or corn starch to stop the bleeding. Went to the house, grabbed a potato & nuked it for a couple minutes until it got hot inside. When ready I cut it in half, wrapped each half in aluminum foil so they stayed hot & headed back out to get the bird. The whole dang flock was after her because of the blood. Had to take each nail that was bleeding & stick into the hot potato until it cauterized the ends. Worked like a charm. Have me some roo's that need to have their spurs shortened a little. Going to try the hot potato & pliers method on them. Sorry this is so long :gig
