My hen just came home after being foster cared for for an entire year. We got the chicken ordinance passed here in Duluth Minnesota in August and I finally got my license cleared.
However!
My Australorp is looking a bit disheveled and lethargic. I examined under her wings. Nothing funny. But her butt!!! Tiny white wiggle worms, about 1/4 inch long, very thin, and a white pasty nugget of excrement there. She has lost weight. She is not too active. Not too interested in food. I tried to just give her some high protein cat food to help her wtih the stress of moving home, and now I find the worms. What shall I do????
