Ok, umm, not really. It feels the same in the morning as it does the last night. United States, NC

The crop feels like it did when she went to roost?

So it's full?
The crop should empty by morning. Check the crop first thing in the morning before she's had Anything to eat/drink, if it's still full, then address that issue.

Help! Sick hen!!! She twists her head around, eats like a pig, breathes very heavy. She's been sneezing a lot. I'm going to try to add a video .... Any ideas of what this might be? I've been being told it's probably respiratory infection, and I've also been told gapeworms... What's a good homemade dewormer I could give her?
I can't add a video!!!! 😔

Has anyone used safe guard goat dewormer for chickens?
 
SafeGuard Liquid Goat wormer or the horse paste is a very good dewormer. Dosage is 0.25 ml or 1/4 ml per pound of weight for 5 straight days. Is she a pound or two? Panacur horse paste is the same stuff and strength. Gapeworms are not common, but if you use the wormer, it will get most all worms except for tapeworms, another rare worm.

Did you get photos of the worms?

Safeguard Horse Paste will work just fine. Give a dose of 0.23ml per pound of weight orally once a day for 5 days in a row

Um, no. Ok, thanks. After 5 days do a wait 10 days and repeat? I've been deworming her today was the last day, it seems to be working!!!!!! 😁
