I have a flock of three, one hen has developed a black comb and she and another have a dirty bum for some weeks now.
The vet just called with the diagnosis threadworm/ascarid and I'm going down for meds shortly so my question isn't what this chicken has, but what do I do? The other two hens look healthy apart from the dirty behind and are way more lively then the sick one.
I'm planning to clean out the coop daily, to avoid re-contamination but apart from that, is there anything I should do? I'm talking to the vet in more detail tomorrow to see if the sick hen needs more care but I can't stand doing nothing because I feel bad for her.
Thanks for reading my rambling, hope you can help.
