He didn't make it, and died yesterday. I had him in my house for 10 days and was treating him with meds etc but he didn't make it.

He was a Buff Orpington, born here this summer. He was about 4 months old. I feel very sad about it. I feel like a terrible chicken-mum. I thought he would pull through but he didn't.
 
Sadly, I discovered he had roundworms, but too late. I had separated him from the others and wormed him, and he got rid of many worms (sorry to be gross), and then seemed to get better for a few days, and then he deteriorated again despite my treatment and nutritional supports. I have since wormed my entire flock, and plan to do so again in 6 weeks. I will also be keeping quite a close check on the rest of my flock from here on out. Hopefully others can learn from my unfortunate experience. I feel terrible about it.
