Do you have Valbazen or SafeGuard? If you saw worms once, they all probably have worms. I would go ahead and worm her for sure. If you see any more worms, get a picture. Worms can damage the gut, and make her anemic.

We have Fenbendazole, will that work?

Yes. Is it 10% fenbendazole horse paste or liquid goat wormer? Dosage of either one of those is 0.25 ml per pound of weight given orally. Give it for 5 consecutive days for most chicken worms including round worms, cecal, capillary, and gapeworms. Give it once and again in 10 days for roundworms only.

We gave this to them yesterday.

That one has a very low dose (6 mg ) of fenbendazole. I am not sure how effective it is. We usually recommend a higher dose (25mg or 1/4 ml per pound of the 100mg per ml SafeGuard paste or liquid goat wormer) daily over 5 days. Let us know if it works. You can get some fresh droppings checked by a vet to look for worm eggs and what type.

I didn’t see any mites, lice, or other pests on her. She actually kind of looks like she’s molting but is she too young for that?

I’ve had one molt at 9 months before. I was very surprised and concerned about it but a couple of months later and my girl was fully feathered and laying again.
