Help! My Hens Are Dying!

[debid]

Which wormer did you use and how did you administer it? When I had one exhibit the same symptoms, I gave Safeguard paste on bread 3 consecutive days with a second round 10 days later. She fully recovered. Oh, and I treated all of them because they don't always show symptoms.

Reviving this thread to report I've lost a second of my 6 hens to the same (apparently) illness......... I've tried antibiotics & worming to no avail... These two hens seemed to slowly waste away & sat with their necks pulled in, supposedly a sign of capillary worms...... My other hens appear healthy, but I need to get a handle on whatever this stuff is. Having the dead hens posted really isn't an option for me.......

If you're still in Kansas, you can get a necropsy done here:
