Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies! I always check in the "What's New" section as well at the top of this page. This way I can read how I may have a similar question or help give some advice.

Thank you for the advice!!! I’ve definitely fallen down some rabbit holes on here a few times, and gained some very valuable/interesting/sometimes comical knowledge

Welcome To BYC

For Tapeworms you'll need to use Praziquantel.
Here's the products and dosing that you can use. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/treating-tapeworms-under-construction.1220309/

Oh thank you so so much! I’m actually about to order some pranziquantel today! My natural methods are helping but I just don’t want to prolong the issue any further. None of the girls seem sick, but one is skinnier than I’d like even though she’s eating, drinking, foraging, and laying normally. Thank you again for the link!
