hello all ! My daughters OEGB Wheaton Hen is acting funny she is fluffed up tailed down and pale ( not that pale, BUT pale ) in the face . I gave her a bath this past Tuesday ( the 16th ) and she laid a egg ( normal ) about 2hrs. later and then that night about 10pm or so she laid another egg ( this time is was shell less , just the lining no shell ) and we took her to the local 4-h show she was fine . And get her home yesterday she was still fine ( no eggs so far or at the fair ) and this morning I notice that her droppings were REALLY dirarrea ( I think I spelled that wrong ..SORRY ) And since this morning she is not acting her self *note* she is my daughters and she only lets my daughter hold her or do ANYTHING WITH HER ! But I have been able to hold her and turn her over on her back and check her vent , which looks normal . Her keel bone is very noticeable when holding her and right below her vent is kinda of sunken in and you can tell where the keel bone ends at from touching and holding her . I know this is long ..but I really need some help in trying to figure what is going on with " Gingerbread" ? Thank you very much !
 
ok I have found out what is wrong with "Gingerbread" she has WORMS !!! I have kept her by her self and just a few minutes ago I checked her to she if she was alright and I noticed something in her ( runny ) droppings and it was a worm . So what can I get to get rid of these ? I know there is alot of wormers out there .. but I don't want to get something to strong for her ! Can you please help ! THANKS ABUNCH !!!
 
ok as you can see I did find 1 worm in her droppings .. gave her wazine in her water ..and have not found any more worms .. but she has really lost alot of weight and still not acting right ! I dont know what else to do ! If somebody ANYBODY can please tell me what to do .. she justs sits there with her tail down , feathers fluffed out and keeps her eyes closed half the time ... Is there something I can give her that can be used for more than 1 thing ??? Can this be coccidiosis ? ( I hope I spelled it right )any and all suggestions would be great !! thanks again !!Oh she is about 8mths. to 9mths.
