Again, can only offer empathy. Let us know how it works out.

Are they coming from the inside or are they just on the outside of the chicken?

True Grit, I gave him cattle de-wormer orally and I poured it over the worms

What was the name of the wormer and how much did you give her?

Okay so to be clear, the worms are still there. There are too many to manually pull off and too fast. When I go to grab them they slip away. There is blood. Whether it is from an existing wound or from these little demons I do not know.. He definitely has some large swollen parts which reeeally worry me..

I gave him .2 ML of valbazen ( albendazole) based on some instructions I found on the forum

 

[dgeter]

So do I need to stick him in a tub of water? and hold him in there for awhile?

 

[codymax2]

Are they like as long as a bean sprout??? If so they are worms and if you de wormed him he'll be pooping them out ove the next day, but you might have to help pull em out ....*PUKE EWWW*... chances are hes not the only one with worms either!? Shouldn't be fatal hes probably walkin funny cause his bum hurts

Good Luck!!

And that describes pretty clearly the problem. Now Im completely freaking out!

Excellent, you gave him the best wormer on the market...valbazen. Dont give him anymore until 10 days later. Maybe you can soak his rear end in hydrogen peroxide, if there's a cut or something, you might be able to "boil" them out.
