Hen after deworming is lethargic, doesnt eat and not laying eggs

Give her some time, it’s gonna take some time before she agrees to eat, probably. There’s a chance she didn’t lay eggs because the worms sucked all of the nutrients out of her.

Yes thats what i was thinking. That was in her poop from few minutes ago. I have never seen this type of poop. Its all white (black stuff is dirt) and its squishy??

It has cheesy, gummy structure
Thank you.

This really does look like a decaying tangled mass of dead worms to me. I dont see lash egg material at the moment.

Hopefully this was all and she will perk up now that she has excreted the mass. But there might be still more of the same on the way out, time will tell.
 
Usually fenbendazole is used 5 days or less. Her droppings look a bit like I have seen with hens having reproductive disorders. Hopefully, she just does not feel well due to the worming. In the meantime, I would offer cooked egg bits, tuna or ground fish or meat, and add water to a small portion of her food, do that several times a day until she is eating well. White material in the dropping is uric acids or urine.

I understand, I relied on the vet who recommended 7 days :( I am worried that it can be something with reproductive system bcs I have read lots of threads about it. I am trying with cooked eggs and meat but she doesnt want it. She still drinks water and ate some grass by herself so I hope it will be ok till monday and vet visit. Thank you for help
