!!PLEASE HELP!!

This is her today, poor girl.

Is there anything I should do..? Try to give her fluids, anything I can get for her that might help?

I would definitely check her crop first thing in the morning before she's had anything to eat/drink to make sure her crop is empty/flat.
Feel her abdomen below the vent between the legs for any signs of bloat.

I got some pictures of the droppings I found this morning, I was hoping to see some improvement from her this morning, but she looks worse. Only about 5 of my 14 hens left to free-range this morning, the others stayed in the coop. I'm hoping it might be because it was colder this morning the usual that she looks sicker, but I doubt it shes still eating, though.

Show photos of the other hens and their poop.

Was her crop empty this morning? Did you feel of her abdomen below her vent between her legs for bloat/fluid?

Did you administer the Safeguard orally today?

Those are Roundworms in the poop. The Safeguard will treat those.

I would work on getting her hydrated and check her over really well. Look for lice and mites while you're at it.

This is her today, poor girl.

I checked her over, no lice or mites. She didn't seem bloated, and her crop emptied fine but I haven't seen her droppings. She isn't much interested in food anymore but she won't allow me to pick her up, I got pictures of her and her buddies, huddled up in the corner of the barn. I gave her safeguard orally yesterday, should I repeat as well today? I can mix up some electrolytes as well. Half of the droppings I've been seeing from my girls are full of worms, Im going to watch her for awhile this morning to see if i can catch a picture. She also keeps squinting one eye. After I took these pictures, opened the door for them again and most of them came out, but they lingered in the barn still.

I mixed some electrolyte water into feed and got her and the others to eat, still gasping. I got ahold of her, which she didn't appreciate, she hasn't gained any weight, the poor girl is so so thin. I gave her more safeguard and electorates and returned her to her feed. I also noticed another one of my hens is beginning to have the same symptoms.

Dose for Fenbendazole is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days.

Fenbendazole will treat Gapeworm and roundworms if you give the proper dosage as suggested back in post#13

Safeguard treatment would be 5 days in a row.

Treat all your birds if you are seeing worms in their droppings.
Try to rake up your coop and run, dispose of the debris.

Give the dewormer first thing in the morning when their crop is empty.

How much ventilation is in their housing?

They have quite a lot of ventilation, its pretty open. I was planning on cleaning today, and ill make sure to give the safeguard again. She hasn't really had any changes, I did notice a dead worm in her droppings this morning, though.

I finished the treatment, cleaned the coops, and I'm planning to spray for mites/lice just in case, but she hasn't improved at all. She hasn't really gotten worse, either. She still gasping when she eats, lethargic, etc. I don't really know what to do, I've been putting vitamin/mineral supplements on their feed at night, giving extra feed, making sure she drinks, but it honestly seems like nothing helps. Is there anything I should do?

I still don't know what to do. Another one of my birds is starting to get the same symptoms, while others are completely fine. ive seen droppings like clear/mucus droppings-cecal like, I finished the deworming treatment, I've done research, I've given them lung/respiratory help, rooster booster, apple cider vinager, Ive tried it all. Should I try corid? I dont think itll do much, but is it worth a try?

Can you get a video of the gasping?
Upload video to youtube and provide a link.

Sure. Sorry for taking so long to reply, I lost a hen and a storm came through my area so I've been trying to get things back in order. There haven't been many changes, in the video, I got the gasping/swallowing like the action isn't as bad as I've seen it, I was feeding her small treats, but if she eats anything larger or like grains she will hold her head back with her mouth open, like she cant swallow. Their droppings right now are very runny, white/greenish-yellow

**shes the bird in the middle, the one I'm most focused on, sorry for not getting a better video**
