Can you post some photos of the poop (with worms) and of your hen?
Are they roundworms?
How old is she?
Wazine will only treat roundworms. When did you treat her with the Wazine?

Will wait for photos and more info.

well is been 7 days since we isolated her and its been up and down.
weve given coris for 5 days now and treated with ivermectin. eating but not a lot (mealworms mostly) some scratch. we bathed her and suspended her in the water to get her to use her legs, she paddled some and didnt mind the bath at all. today she had some solid poop and is drinking more. she will stand but not on her own. if we hold her she will stand but she doesn't seem to have any lateral strength. were feeding her probiotic and procell. still puzzled as to whys he wont stand and walk.

That is so cute that you had her swimming in water while you held her up. Water therapy is good for rehab. I am glad that you have given the Corid and wormed her. I hope you will see some improvement in getting her to stand and walk. Sha may be displaying signs if Mareks disease. I have a hen just this week who is 7 years old, and has been having a lot of trouble standing and walking. I think that my hen may have suffered an injury, but if I lose her, I will get a necropsy at my state vets, just to see what was wrong.

You make want to try making her a chicken sling or chair to get her upright. You can place small bowls of food and water near her, and take her out to sleep or to exercise her legs. It consists of a piece of cloth with 3 holes, for her 2 feet and a hole in back for droppings to fall away. Here is a good link and a video that has pictures of these slings:
