Silkie with white eyes not red

[debbie rogers]

Hi please can you help - my 1year old silkie hens red surround to her eyes has changed from red to white, she is eating a little but not running after clover or grass like my other chicks and she seems to have runny poos. i am not sure what is wrong with her but worried in case it is a virus that will spread to the other chicks.

She sounds anemic. When was she last wormed, as worms and parasites can bring them down fast. Also check for lice under the feathers and around vent.

Thank ou - i will check her for lice - which wormer would you suggest as we haven't wormed any of the chicks.

You can start with Wazine as round worms are most common. If no improvement I would go to Safeguard liquid goat wormer 3 cc per gallon of water. If you see lice or mites then use Ivermectian placed on bare skin under wing or back of neck.... 1cc per 10lbs of bird.
