HELP hen dying

[casportpony]

She the sick one did not move when a finger was a cm away from her eye,or nearly closer.I still have no idea what it is,this hen has gotten worse.

Can you post some clear close up pictures of the eyes?

ok I think I figured out her problem,worms.I was feeding her and notice one tin little worm.Looks like this-

It was not nearly as long as these ones though.

In other news she is doing better,struggles to stand but is well enough to preen her self and eat/drink on her own.

Photos of the poop with worms you are seeing may be helpful.

Generally speaking if you are seeing worms in her poop, you can deworm with Valbazen 1/2 ml orally and then repeated in 10 days for each chicken or Fenbendazole (Safeguard, Panacur) at 1/4 ml per pound for 5 days in a row.

Hopefully that will help her out a bit. After you worm, provide some probiotics/yogurt and continue with your poultry vitamins.

Hi

I may be mistaken but she looks like she has been getting too much attention from the rooster(s)..... feather loss on body and head/neck are pretty normal indicators of it. That can cause stress as well as injury. Stress causes the immune system to become weak and leave them vulnerable to other ailments. I would recommend building a bachelor pad for your roosters to give your girls a break.
Have you checked these hens' crops to make sure they are functioning properly....ie emptying overnight?

Honestly,that is overtime feather loss from roosters,she did not molt this winter,and much of it is from stress of this sickness.I will be checking crops this morning.I would have got a picture,but ufourtently I guess the worm is gone,probably smashed with poop,I need to clean things out.
