Worms & sneezing.

[Chrisd01]

Hi,
We only recently started keeping chickens in the last 2 months.
One of them (we have 3 a isa brown, a rhode island black & a blue haze) has left some poos on the lawn that appear to have dead white worms in about 1-1 1/2 " in length. We've been given mash laced with flubenvet that will alledgedly do the job but are unsure?
Also one of the chickens is sneezing alot & I've no idea why or what to do is it linked?

I haven't wormed my birds and am not familar with the drug you are using. But if you're seeing worms, might have to identify what they are and treat acordingly. As for sneezing. That can be a number of things. Hopefully it isn't viral and you didn't pick up sick birds though. Hope someone else can chime in.

Flubenvet will kill most types of worms, that's what you're seeing. Since only one bird is sneezing and not spreading to other birds, it could be an environmental issue with the bird in question. Maybe she inhaled feed dust or a feed granule or something of that nature. If the sneezing spreads to your other birds, that's when you should be concerned.
