    My hen has round worms and coccidiosis. How long until she makes a full recovery and is it safe to assume she will make it?

I figured it was due to the cold until the next day where I could tell she was way too sleepy and isolated and something was wrong. A trip to a our vet and he informed us...

    What breed are my lovely ladies?

    I think they're black sex-links, but was told they're barnyard mixes. The one that's mostly black does have some orange colour under her head.
