You might want to try contacting a vet and getting metronidazole if she has blackhead it's about the only thing that will treat it you also have to deworm her to kill the worm that causes the disease panacur or safeguard are good for Cecil worms if you lose the bird you can take her to a state lab and have a necropsy done relatively cheap

No need to see a vet to get metronidazole, just buy fish-zole or meditrich online.








For the cecal worm it's Safeguard or Valbazen.

FWIW, I don't think you need to buy any metronidazole, but I do think you should buy Safeguard or Valbazen and worm your flock.

Okay. Our local feed store and our local farm supply store don't have Safeguard goat wormer or Safeguard equine wormer, I can see if Amazon has it I guess. My mom is a "have things natural, no chemicals, heathy organic food" type of person, so she's really not into giving the chickens wormer or anything else chemically unless she has to.

We have two indoor cats that we've never wormed and a Mini Dachshund we've never wormed. Back a couple years ago before we put our Black Labrador Retriever to sleep we did worm him because he was my dad's duck and goose hunting dog.
