I dont know the age since we got her as a hen. Don't know to worm her.

I would definitely worm her.
Is she acting normal other than the color?

What do you feed, including treats?

I'd try deworming if she's losing weight quickly. You'll need to weigh her for deworming, so use this as a baseline weight and track her weight at least once a week to see if she loses/gains, etc.

Check to make sure her crop is emptying overnight and look her over for lice/mites. Provide a nutritionally balanced poultry feed to eat. It wouldn't hurt to give her a little egg or fish (sardines, mackerel) a few times a week for a protein boost.


To treat most worms that poultry can have except for Tapeworm you can use Safeguard (Fenbendazole) or Valbazen (Albendazole). Both are given orally by weight; they do not mix well with water.

Safeguard 10% Liquid Goat Dewormer or Equine Paste dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
---OR---
Valbazen dose is 0.08ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days.

Here's how to give oral medications:

I give her treats, regular feed, and some of our left overs.

You need to be more specific so we will be able to better help you assess what could be wrong.

Also check the coop, underneath the roosting bars and nest boxes for poultry mites, they can leave a bird anaemic in no time.
