Worms?

[Chickalita]

I have a white face black Spanish hen (about 14-15 weeks) not feeling so well.
I am thinking possibly worms but I’m not sure.
Symptoms- lethargic, weakness, loss of appetite, dropping her wings, purple comb.

So far I have given her electrolytes in her water and diatomaceous earth in her food.
She is drinking well but not eating very much. I have not seen any worms in her poop. The most I’ve observed is green poop.

Is there a dewormer I can put in her water that covers most types?

Worm?

I would treat her for coccidiosis with Corid because of the reddish material in her poops. But worming her orally can be done at the same time. Valbazen 1/4 ml given once and again in 10 days, or SafegUard liquid goat wormer can be used 1/4 ml per pound of weight given for 5 consecutive days into her beak will work well.

Yes, that may be a small skinny worm. I couldn’t see any in the pictures before. Definitely worm her, but coccidiosis can cause her symptoms as well.

Note if you see any moving specks of white in her droppings. Those could be tapeworm segments, and would require a different wormer. Here is what those look like:

Update: her most recent poop. Never thought I’d be studying poop so hard.
We do have corid on hand though I think that was my other chickens poop as she is bunking with our other Spanish hen who is recovering from a skunk attack.

Green with lots of white

Definitely not that and I hope I never see that in my life. Ew

With the bits of blood, I still would worm orally, and treat for coccidiosis in the water for 5 days. Corid dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid, or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water. For a day or 2 also give her 1/4 tsp of undiluted Corid once a day.

I can definitely do that. Do you know the best wormer to get her. Since I’m not sure the type of like to get her something that can cover a good variety. I’m about to head out and get her that now
