Try it and see if that makes a difference.
Did your vet perform a fecal float to look for worms?
Since you are in Ireland, likely you would have to get a script for most dewormers (I think) so the VermX is probably what they want you to try first(?)
I know some use Flubenvet or Levamisole so these may be what they give you if you need something else.
Don't know if you have ever run across this, but PoultryKeeper.com is based in the UK, you may be able to find some of the products they recommend on there. https://poultrykeeper.com/general-chickens/worming-chickens/
It was just a phone call and he recommended it to me.
She seems to be getting heavier every day now, I haven’t weighed her but she feels heavier than Some of my other hens... maybe it’s because she’s getting all that food to herself. I also forgot to mention She was on the bottom of the pecking order and she was a bit of a runt, the smallest of all her siblings. She looks to have grown a lot while not being able to walk..
. Also would it be better if I gave her the b complex tablet by mouth ? Just to make sure she’s getting enough.


She is so pretty! I do hope that she improves, but this may be as good as she gets. It's good that she is gaining/growing. Hopefully as she gains more weight her legs will still be able to support her - I'm sure you're concerned about that, but only time will tell.
