The picture tells us that she has tapeworms, and regular wormers will not treat that. You need to get a wormer with praziquantel, such as droncit, and some horse wormers. In the US those are Equimax or Zimectrin Gold, but you should check with your vet in the UK in case they can give you those or a dog and cat tablet containing praziquantel or droncit.

Tapeworms are less common in chickens, and they get them by eating an intermediate host, such as earthworms, beetles, flies, grasshoppers, snails, and slugs that contain the tapeworm eggs. Removing access to those hosts, and picking up her contaminated droppings can help to control them.

Thankyou I have ordered some panacur 18% as this contains praziquantel. It's coming tomorrow. We have just moved house and the garden leads onto to a horse and dog kennels, plenty of slugs and bugs in the garden. I do watch her free ranging as I'm an anxious chicken mum so at least now I know. Thanks for your help

I don’t think that Panacur has praziquantel in it. Look at the ingredients on the label. It usually just contains fenbendazole, and that does not treat tapeworms.
