Opening mouth and shaking head! HELP!

[alinas2010]

I will have to check her mouth! Thank you!
Yes shes grown up with the rest of my flock since chicks and have been on ground since out of the brooder. I let them out daily From the run when we're home to free range.

What is the dosage for corid? I can start that. I just worried it would cause more harm if they didn't have it.

Current stool and gaping picture below

I’m worried because I do not see her tongue. Do check mouth as soon as possible. Let me find some cores dosage.

Thank you for this!! Any chance you know if I can mix the corid and fenbendazole in the same waterer? Both say to be the main source of water to ensure they're drinking it

I’m not sure. I am not familiar with that dewormer. I would need to do some research. Let’s see if we can find where someone says…

I've never seen someone try mixing corid and fenbendazole together. It is advised to not mix them. Prioritize one over the other. Personally, if nobody else is acting weird, having odd stools, diarrhea, etc. I would prioritize de-worming first because it does sound like gapeworm to me.

there is liquid form, but it isn't supposed to be mixed in water, so I'm confused too. Some people dissolve fenbendazole in water or crush it and then use that over the food if that chicken is separated so you can dose each chicken properly.

I agree, I think I’d prioritize the deworming first, also. But can you post a picture of your dewormer? I’m seeing that the form of fenbendazole that can go in water only treats round worm, post #2 by @Eggcessive :

Aquasol is a very expensive version of fenbendazole that recently has been marketed in small amounts for chickens. The dosage is very complicated and only will treat round worms. Unfortunately they do not give easy instructions. Normally I would use SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer 10% fenbendazole which is affordable and very easy to dose at 0.23 ml per pound of weight given once and in 10 days for roundworms only. Or give it for 5 consecutive days to treat for round, cecal, capillary and gapeworms. I see that the label is covered by a sticker, so here is a link with the complicated...

That is a weak and expensive version of fenbendazole diluted with water for 5 days with no egg withdrawal time. It only treats roundworms, one type of possible chicken worms. Dosage is a bit hard to figure. You could get a fecal float by your vet on some combined droppings, to see if your chickens have worms. If I wanted to worm, I would use something that gets roundworms, cecal, gape, and capillary worms. Albendazole or Valbazen 0.5 ml given orally once and again in 10 days or 10% fenbendazole SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer 0.23 ml per pound of weight for 5 consecutive days given orally are...

So it looks like if you are truly worried about gape worm, this may not be a good solution.
