Please help Chicken has worms!

[Pcreel72]

Went to check on my buffy hen who has been feeling sick and found a pile of worms in her poo!
Yesterday I gave her Tylan.25 ml IM and Bounce Back hoping this will help her.
Eyes red and watery looking like she just feels like crap. Wings droopong and comb a lil off in color (pale).
Looks like two types of worms.
The cream colored round long ones and a short pink one

Thank very much. Going to get the meds now for the flock. Gave her some goat wormer for now.

Those all look like roundworms, not sure what the pink thing is, maybe some undigested food of some kind. If you used Safeguard liquid goat wormer that will work fine. Correct dose is .23 ml per pound of weight of bird, for Safeguard. You could also use Valbazen or Wazine. Wazine will only work on roundworm, the other two are more broad spectrum and will work on most types of worms. You will need to dose once, and then repeat in 10 days. You may see more worms in droppings as they die off, or they may just be absorbed/digested. You should worm all of your birds.

Thank you very much
Since I have almost 100 flock
What would you recommend to use to worm everyone

Easiest way for a large flock is Wazine, which goes in the water. But you have to realize that correct dosing is determined by them taking in enough of the medicated water, and there is the chance that a sick bird might not drink enough or a lower pecking order bird might be kept away and not get enough. There is another product that can be mixed in water but it's quite expensive, so most don't use it, it's Safeguard Aquasol : https://www.merck-animal-health-usa.com/product/poultry/Safe-Guard-AquaSol/1

I've got 28 birds right now and I direct dose, usually with Safeguard goat liquid or Valbazen. These two are not water soluble and cannot be mixed in water, they will settle out. You could do it that way, direct dose, also, would just take you longer. I just lock them in the coop at night, go out before light the next morning and take them off the roosts one at a time and dose using an oral syringe, and turn loose. When the coop is empty, you are done. If they are not all housed together you could do it in groups. I generally eye-ball weights for this since I've done it so many times I can pretty well guess the weights when I pick them up. You could just weigh a few to get an idea in general, weigh the biggest roo, and hen, and the smallest and an average sized one and it would give you a general idea of weights. I know it sounds labor intensive, but after you've done a few it gets easier, and you have confidence that all got the appropriate dose. There is also this method, not sure how well it would work with 100 birds, would think you still might have to break them into smaller groups, but will pass it on for your info, I haven't done it this way : https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/safeguard-mash-zero-day-egg-withdrawal.1254653/

Okay to gather and worm each one is best. I’ll do that. Thank you so very much.

I gave her Tylan because she was doing the gasping thing.
Probably cause she’s so overloaded poor girl was struggling to live.
I placed her inside and this morning saw the surprise! Geeze I feel like a bad mom. I give the wazine. Maybe not the best method.
I’ll treat each one separate from today forward.
