I.D. Worm?

[nancypo]

I've been reading up trying to diagnose my hen, she passed a worm. I looked at a lot of pictures. It looked like a short earth worm, 2" long round, not real skinny, not a tape worm. She passed on the towel, in her basket. Any ideas? She's been droopy the last 3 days. Brought her in full time today, been eating and drinking a little...

Round worms?

Could be any of a number of worms. From the description I would hazard a guess at round worm. If you do a search for deworming or dewormer, you will find several really good products and dosing instructions on the board.

Thanks, I'm checking my local stored first thing tomorrow morning...

It is a large roundworm. Use safeguard (fenbendazole) or valbazen (albendazole) to take care of them and other types of worms she may have.
