Hen with Sour Crop, But Not Responding To Treatment

[Wyorp Rock]

I used strongdid, but I calculated the math out and only gave .1ml of the paste to each hen using a needle less syringe.

I have yet to see an actually worm, just a few larvae that looked to have just hatched in her poop that was attached to her rear feathers. They were yellowish and oval like.

How much do your hens weigh?
Show me your math on the dosing.

You are/were seeing worm larvae in your hen's poop and attached to her rear feathers?

You should not be seeing larvae on the hen's feathers, it sounds like Maggots instead of Roundworms.

Gather her up, give her bottom a very good soaking in warm soapy water, clean up all the poop off of her and make sure there are not any more worms/larvae on her or her skin. Look for any type of wound around the vent, to the sides or below the vent.

If you find maggots/larvae and/or a wound, please get some photos. You'll want to get all the larvae off of her.

5lbs is her weight.

I only saw them once and then they were gone. I cleaned the poop off, and there were no wounds at all around her vent anywhere. If I see the larvae again, I will take photos, but so far I haven't see them again.

I'm glad that you are not seeing the larvae and that she has no wounds.
