HELP - Worms, prolapse, gapeworm, mites?

[babybop11]

There are a lot of major problems going on with my birds so I will try my best to keep it organized as I am seeking help with all of it. Please tag anyone you think may be able to help.
For a few days now, one of our birds has been acting depressed, lethargic, pale comb. I started giving her scrambled eggs and vitamins e and b complex.
Later that day, another one of our birds pooped out roundworms (photo #1). Assuming this is what was wrong with the first bird, We began giving all of our chickens 1ml of the goat dewormer (we read discrepancies in dosage amount so we met in the middle of the small and large doses, though I read the small dose can knock out roundworm). Gave day two of five today.
While making the rounds for this, we found one of our birds who appeared fine this morning dead. She had a prolapsed vent (photo 2) and had clearly been bleeding while sitting up on the roost (photo 3).
While checking the rest of the butts, I found this, which I’m praying is not mites (photo 4).
Lastly, the original chicken we were worried about is still not well. She is breathing with her mouth open even though we have her inside and i’m worried about gapeworm. I don’t see anything when i look in her throat. Would 1ml of the goat dewormer for 5 days help knock that out too, IF it were present? She is eating somewhat but poops are watery and greenish, no obvious worms that I can see (photo 5)

So my questions:
1) is the dose we are giving for birds ranging 4-6 lbs fine?
2) can worms cause prolapsed vent even if no other obvious sign of illness, presuming this wasn’t just a while coincidence?
3) Are these red bumps on the bum mites or just irritated pin feathers growing in? If mites, what do I do?
4) if it were gapeworm as well, would the 1ml for five days cover it?

I think that’s it. Thank you SO much for help.

Sorry you are going through all of this with your flock, my heart goes out to you. I know how stressful it is to care for sick animals.

I do not think that the prolapse is related to the deworming, but im not 100% sure. To me, it looks like someone in your flock is picking feathers based on the picture of the red, irritated feather follicles in pic 4. You can see where the feathers have been broken off. That could also explain why one of them had a prolapse that was bloody; she may have gotten a prolapse then it got pecked a bit. Again I don’t know for sure if deworming causes prolapses, but I haven’t heard of that.

Gape worm should be treated by most dewormers, but here are specifics about treatment:

However gape worm is relatively rare. Does she show signs of respiratory illness such as bubbles in her eyes or any discharge from nostrils, ears, eyes? How is her crop and has she been eating? How about lethargic? How are the rest of the chickens in your flock recovering from deworming? Sometimes with deworming a heavy infection, chickens do poorly, it could be that is what is going on, but we need a bit more detail about her condition.

Can you get a photo or video of the hen that is breathing heavy?

When was her last egg?
What do you feed, including treats?

I see undigested grains in the poop is the crop emptying overnight?

Fenbendazole is dosed by weight. So it's a good idea to weigh the birds and give them the correct dosing.

Dosing is below, but most do round up to 0.25ml per pound of weight since it's easier to draw up/measure. A 4lb bird would receive a daily dose of 1ml of Safeguard Liquid Goat dewormer for 5days in a row.
If you are treating a 6lb hen, she would need 1.5ml, so you may be over or under dosing depending on the weight of each bird.





To treat most worms that poultry can have except for Tapeworm you can use Safeguard (Fenbendazole) or Valbazen (Albendazole). Both are given orally by weight; they do not mix well with water.

Safeguard 10% Liquid Goat Dewormer or Equine Paste dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
---OR---
Valbazen dose is 0.08ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days.

Here's how to give oral medications:
