My 2 year old Lav Americauna has been broody for weeks and just 2 days came out of it. I was picking up droppings today and she pooped in front of me and I noticed worms! All of my girls are currently molting, if that matters.

Are these round worms? How do I treat? Do I treat the entire flock?
Any help is appreciated!

I am not sure if you are just seeing roundworms or other types, but I would use either albendazole or fenbendazole (SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer.) You could ask your vet if you could bring in some fresh droppings in a ziplock bag to do a fecal float to identify what types there are. Albendazole dosage is 0.08 ml or about 0.5 ml for a 4-6 pound chicken given orally once, and repeated in 10 days. Fenbendazole or SafeGuard liquid goat wormer dosage is 0.23 ml (1/4 ml) per pound of weight given orally for 5 consecutive days. Either of those will treat all chicken worms except tapeworms which are more rare. Here is a decent price on generic albendazole/Valbazen:

Thank you!! Placing my order now! I was reading another post about Safe Guard causing possible issues during molt, so I'll go with the Albendazole.

So far I'm only seeing round worms (I've dealt with tape worms before and haven't spotted those)

I'll treat the whole flock but I have the culprit separated to try and stop the spread.
