Looks like I was wrong, one of them passed away (the one that pooped long worms) : (I cannot find information that says either of those medications are effective for tapeworm, I do hope your birds improve. But I would try to get something with praziquantel in it for future use. Tapeworm requires a secondary host, which the bird ingests to become infected (snails, slugs, cockroaches, earthworms, etc). If you have the host in your environment, then you may deal with repeat infections, it would be good to be prepared. Albendazole may be effective on some types of roundworm, but not all of them.
The other one Is alive eating and drinking also she seems active but I just checked on her while she's sleeping I noticed some fuss in her eyes, not sure if this is because of the worms or something else, she also smells and she seems like she have fuss in her throat too that she choking on a bit, not sure if she'll survive....guess the worms has done big damage already, Unfortunately I couldn't find any praziquantel I asked 4 vets on the phone, and yes we do have tons of snails and probably roaches and earth worms too
I'll start contacting vets from different cities see if they got any praziquantel available but meanwhile I'm trying to protect my other chicks got around 100 and I already see similar droppings on the ground, I have 15 chicks same age as the 2 that are sick I think it's right to assume it's their droppings
