Possibly worms?

[Chirehe]

So maybe at this point I’m just paranoid since losing a hen last week, but we may have worms. Out of 8 hens I’ve only been 1-2 eggs a day for a whole week. We used to get about 7 on average before she passed. Now another hen is acting off, she sleeps standing and seems to just doze off randomly. And her poop looks odd most is just white and watery every once in awhile with a touch of green (maybe grass) another hen had bright orange. I’ve been reading on worms and think that their is a possibly that they have them. It was really rainy last week which may have contributed to it. Tomorrow we’re going to have it tested at the vet if they will.

Fecal test is the best way to confirm if it's worms but possible Coccidiosis too. If the hen laying the "bright orange" could you get a pic?

Would a fecal test find coccidiosis? I unfortunately can’t it was twoish days ago I think she might have just found a tomato or it may have just been cecal matter, if I find anymore I’ll definitely post it.

Yes it will.
How old is your flock and have you brought any new birds in the last few months?
What exact feed do you use and do you feed treats?
If so what and how often.

They’re 7 and 1/2 months, I feed https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/p...llets-premium-poultry-feed-50-lb?cm_vc=-10005 and I did recently add a new roo and regretfully did not quarantine.

I would get a fecal done first in the morning. Could be coccidiosis, worms or an infection.

So they don’t have worms or coccidiosis, they were more than likely just stressed out. He said a lot of people in the area lost a chicken or two during the storm last week. They’ve been all acting better and slowly producing more eggs.

Weird but good I guess.
