Watery Poop and not Laying

[Melovechickens]

I know that worms cause weight loss too and I don't want to go to the extreme just yet. I would like to try with the SafeGuard and if she doesn't get any better then I will use the Corrid. Thanks so much for the help!

Wormer is harder on the birds...Corrid is easier..

Sometimes getting a fecal float to check for worms can save money. Corid can cost between $17 and $25, while SafeGuard is between $20 and $30. Sometimes they can have runny poops and not lay from reproductive problems, or for no serious reason at all. If she is eating and drinking, and alert and active, you could watch her and give her a tespoonful daily of plain yogurt with cultures for a probiotic.

I am going to correct myself now. I am pretty sure she has some sort of worms. She has lost A LOT of weight. When I touched her breast to make sure she wasn't losing weight, I discovered that her breast was just bone. She has had watery poop and has not been laying. She looks perfectly healthy besides that. I don't know how to treat my whole flock. I only have three chickens. An Orpington, Golden Sex-Link, and a Cochin. The Cochin is super tiny just to say. I do have a goat dewormer. It is safe-guard (fenbendazole) goat dewormer. How much should I give my chickens? Thanks!

I have a chicken who has been sick for a month. Tried fenbendazole today. I was told to give her 30 mg/pound. Gave it to her in cottage cheese. You can treat the entire flock in the water if you want; 125 mg/liter for 5 days.
