[Granny Hatchet]

No Im sorry, I dont know what kind but I will tag someone that will. Might be tomorrow before you hear back. You will need to worm them unless thats an earthworm that crawled in there looking for a snack. LOL

RE: yes I just checked there is a worm but do you know what type it could be?

You should post a photograph..

That looks like a long worm. How old is the photo?

No more then 2 hours

I was going to say it looks like she has roundworms. I would suggest Safeguard goat wormer. 1.5 ml for the standard 6 lb. bird.

That's a round worm....Wazine should take care of it.

I have a Buff Orpington that goes broody every couple of months. I wouldn't rule out roundworm as some have suggested but when my hen is broody her poops are huge and smelly. I segregate her in a dog crate raised up on blocks. This way the air can circulate around her and her core temperature will drop and she will no longer think she is hatching eggs. It usually takes only 2 nights of this and I let her back with the rest of the girls and she's fine.

It's the pic of the pooh that indicates roundworms. Wazine comes with a warning now that it is not to be used for chickens used for eggs, or meat. Again, Safeguard is a much better choice.

Wazine has a 14(?) day withdrawal for meat,
and correct, there is no withdrawal cited for eggs,
as it hasn't been tested for that.....but neither has Safeguard.
