My momma just hatched 7 baby chicks and we put 3 more day old chicks under her. Today (day 5) I've noticed that some poop looks like worms and one of the adopted chicks is struggling to breath. Her abdomen looks swolden as well. Picture of poop included

Small pic, but looks like roundworms. I suggest worming with wazine. If one has, all likely have, so treat your whole flock. If you have egg-producing hens, you'll need to throw eggs away for 14 days. Make sure to do two treatments to get adults and then the eggs that have hatched. Dosing info:

CHICKENS - 4 to 6 weeks of age: for each 100 birds, use 1 fluid ounce (30 ml) of Wazine-17 in 1 U.S. gallon (3.8 liters) of drinking water.
Over 6 weeks of age: for each 100 birds, use 2 fluid ounces (60 ml) of Wazine-17 in 2 U.S. gallons (7.6 liters) of drinking water.

1 liquid ounce = 30ml = 2 tablespoons
 
Oh it definitely came out of the 5 day old chick. My hen is separated from the flock and there is nothing in her poop. She is on my porch with ten chicks. Here is another picture. Can I even treat 5 day old chicks? How can they even get roundworms in 5 days?

It's not worms. It's sloughed intestinal lining. I recommend giving the chicks Corid 9.6% liquid solution. Dosage is 9.5cc's per gallon of water for 5 days. Make it fresh daily and dont add anything to the mixture. Corid can be found in the cattle section at a feed store.

ok. I have some corid. This is my first time with chicks. WhY is this happening? Previous picture was from one of my chicks,not adopted ones. My adopted chock looks like she is struggling to breath and very sleepy. She stretches her neck kind of like she is about to crow.
