Whats toxic worm overload??

[Alka1681]

Are urates poops yellow cream and small solids a sign of worms?

Gas through whole intestines?

Slow crop but no smell to it?

Lethargy and laboured breathing?

Crop puffs with gas and deflates?

No interest in drinking at all?

Only interest in fennel seeds, mealworms and starter crumble? But only small amount.

Thankyou

Yellow or cream colored urates in poop can be a sign of egg yolk peritonitis and water belly. I had recommended worming your older hen with fenbendazole or even albendazole just to rule out worms. It sounds like the hen in this thread below is having digestive and crop issues related to her possible reproductive problems. Here is your other thread:

She doesnt feel swollen though with water. Its gas. Tail down. Head shaking. Laboured breathing. Some poops solid (small) without urates. Some just urates. Only cecal poops comes out looking normal. Not the other ones. Stands head low, bum up. Crop digests the new stuff cause its liquidy. But the corn and 5 or so grains that were in there 9 days ago are still there. Like about 1 or 2 tablespoons of squishy after the night. Shes loving fennel seeds. The thing is, her strength has increased. She walked all the way to the shed today. She really miuth breathed afterwards but she was wanting to go there and these moments between the gases episodes, shes more active. Today she scared me by jumping off the bench and walking off. Bench half metre up, she jumped neatly. But as soon as syringing begins and eating, gases build up. Crop suddenly blows up hard and deflates. Audible gas wheezing, grumbling even when a half metre away from her. She starts heavy breathing and sqyeaks. Then it oasses and breathing gets gentle.
Could the proventriculus and gizzard be blocked? Shes got so much coconut oil and today day 2 of digestive enzymes. Vitamins with probiotic. The odd yellow cream urates poops have been making an appearance for last month or so like rare amidst her old huge normal poops. She was a hungry girl until thus week. The gas makes her want to poop. Then this tiny smidge solid comes or urates.

We had 3chickens, over last 20yrs with peritonitis, fully different story. They were incredibly swollen could feel and see it and none had this gas sound. Shona has never been wormed and irony of it all, this week of being sick, her molt has bloomed...not sure if the coconut oil and kefir and everything is going straight to her bloom. She gad paintbrush feathers still needing to open up prior getting sick. They been opening all week. Her comb and face wattles though, compared to what they were about 3 yrs ago, have shrunk and lost their redness.
