For me the best worming plan is to worm with safeguard and then 7 to 10 days later worm again with valbazen. This will break the worms reproductive cycle. You will have to not eat the eggs for 21 days...although some people do eat them. I would pick up some fresh droppings of poop in a zip lock plastic bag and have the vet run a parasite test. That way you will know if worms are present before you go through with the cost of worming and not eating eggs for 3 weeks. I would also do what carfare girl suggested and check for lice (vent area) and mites (at night with a flash light).the mites like to come out at night and you can see them crawling on the roost bar. Sorry about your hen. Sometimes it is just so hard to know when they are sick they hide it well.
