Yes, it's worms in the intestines! Since he didn't weigh her, you need to.

I want to use the liquid. should I get the one for the horse or goat?

 

[the3ofus+oursixchicks]

just another simple question Kathy. should I keep her in or let her run around with everyone else? and how fast will the wormer start to work?

I would use the goat one because it's cheaper per dose. Then I would weigh her and give her .5ml per 2.2 pounds (50mg/kg). If she were a full sized average Wyandotte she would get 1.4ml.

Ignore the instructions on the bottle or tube, they are for goats and horses who get much less than chickens do, trust me!

She should be in with access to only water and easily digestable foods, no seeds! Wormer should start to work in a few hours, but you might not see any in her poop as they are often just digested once they die.

she is about 2 1/2 years old. I can feel when I pick her up she has lost weight. I don't have any scales at the moment so I cant weight her. I will have to pick up a battery or a regular set of scales. thanks for all the information. I am hoping to get her full I know she is so hungry.

You could weigh her at a post office.
