I am pretty sure my hen has worms, natural treatment?

Do not buy Strike lll. It no longer contains Hygromycin B which was the active chemical that eliminated worms.
I recommend the Safeguard liquid goat wormer. It's easy to administer orally.

Safe-guard... Makes zero difference what animal is on the label.
Get either one.

I have an extra tube of Safe-guard for our horses, how much should I give my hen from that tube?

Can you weigh her?

If your birds hasn't laid eggs in YEARS worms is not the only problem.

She's a Silver Laced Wyandotte, I guess, she may still be laying, but VERY occasionally. She is 8 years old. What other issues do you think she might have.

Can you weigh her?

I just have a human scale, but I can weigh myself, then grab her and weight me again. I can grab the wormer today, we rotate pastures from our house to our friends house, so the horses and wormer are at the other pasture right now.

Can you weigh her?

I just weighed her, she's 5 pounds.

Should I give them electrolytes in the water, and this hen nutri-drench?

Okay, so 20-50mg per day for 3-5 days? Then again after 10 days? I don't want to over dose, should I start with 20mg since she is 5lbs so I don't over dose?

Give to each chicken orally, squeezed out in a pea-size portion and placed inside their mouth. Repeat in 10 days.
For chickens: 20-50 mg/kg given orally once, and repeated in 10 days for roundworms, 5 days for capillaria, and 3 days for flukes.
