Runt or sick?

She doesn’t really have any of the other symptoms of coccidiosis besides being small and questionable feather/down growth. What do you guys suggest for a de-wormer?

Ive never actually dewormed my chickens. Just treated for coccidiosis. Here is an article on natural ways to deworm. https://www.purelypoultry.com/blog/organic-de-worming-and-prevention/

Great article! I might try finding some canned pumpkin to see if they’ll like that. I did make them a little baby dust bath with diatomaceous earth mixed in to help prevent mites/lice but I didn’t even think about it working for worms as well! Obviously it works as their grit source too so hopefully that will help her as well. Thank you!!
