I am still kind of new to the chicken world. My first and my little baby girl Nugget (profile picture) has not pooped in awhile. Lost a lot of weight, lethargic, and it keeps getting worse as the weeks go on. I’ve kept her separate from the other chickens in my flock for two days now and when I went to check on her tonight, she finally pooped. It was black, tarry, and smelled so bad to the point I gagged some. Note: I have started treating her for worms as of yesterday with diatanacious earth food grade and giving her vitamin water. When I put her in the tub to rinse her off, I took these pictures of her poo that confirm roundworms. Even in the smallest bits, there was a lot of worms. Is this significant of an infection curable? She can’t even support herself or even lay down normally anymore.
