Yikes! I guess you must have prime for free delivery!

I do have prime but its not next day unfortunately, it should arrive on Monday (fingers crossed). I hope the poorly one survives until then....I swear I've spent so much money on the bloody chicken....

Apparently it's not available in the US. I've looked and haven't been able to find the premixed.

If she starts going down hill give her some chopped or scrambled egg and some probiotics. It will take a couple of days for the wormer to kick in fully. Make sure she's eating and drinking well. Hopefully she should pull through. Flubenvet is a good wormer.

Its seems odd that it isn't. It's made by elanco that make alot of different animal meds. I think there also a US company.

Thanks for the advice! I’ll keep an eye on her. She eats and drinks well but her crop is quite pale. Not stopping her from bullying the others though so she may pull through yet!

Thanks guys, I'll make sure to chuck the eggs after treatment...what about before treatment? Do I chuck those too? I know it's a different system and all, but still...yuk

No need to discard the eggs before you treat for worms. Don't panic, roundworms are not a big deal. Your chickens will be fine until you can treat them.

How is your hen doing now? I hope she is improving.
