Worms or Parasites?

[Mandy020386]

I have new chicks. Sad to say something took one from me this morning. I am not sure now what to say that she had. I am thinking now that they have worms or internal parasites. I want to try and treat for both. What do you suggest I use? I have that D Earth stuff the food grade to mix in the food. Is that enough of do I need to add something else? The poop is yellow and foamy but symptoms are sneezing and snot bubbles. But one died this moring and I want to make sure I dont lose any more

Hi, DE is not strong enough to kill worms.... You would need Safeguard or Valzeban to worm with but I don't think you are dealing with worms.... Where did you get your chicks from? It sounds more like Resiptory (MG, ILT, CRD) ... Cocci will also kill chicks quickly.... Hopefully someone else will have more input.... I'm sorry they are sick.

I got them from a local hatchery but she has not returned any of my calls
