Sara, It could be coccidiosis not worms (can you see worms in her cecal or regular droppings) using up all of her thiamine to reproduce. I would you please give her some b complex dissolved in water? She needs all 11 b vitamins in case it is a b deficiency? If you do not have any please pick some up along with cheap children's vitamins with minerals, grind up 6-10 children's vitamins, add to the b with a tsp of sugar, dissolve in 1/4 cup of water and feed to her. Look at her droppings, ok? For fresh garlic and hot peppers to work, you have too grind them up with fruit and or veggie to make them taste good, mix it with feed in the amount they will clean up in 10-20 minutes.

After you treat her with vitamins you need to decide whether to treat her for cocci and or worms, or both. Coccidistats are thiamine antagonists and will deprive her of more thiamine.

Thank you Cathryn and Shannon. I have not used a dewormer up to now
because I was using garlic and hot pepper, and there did not seem to be
any signs of worms in their stools. And, I'm one of the "natural" nuts,
preferring to use herbal alternatives and such. However, I've got a
chicken who can't walk, and I'd rather treat her with whatever I need to
treat her with to bring her back to health. I live WAY out in the
country now, usually get to any town with a feed store less than once a
month. However, I am driving into such a town tomorrow to pick up what
I need. I looked on that Twin City site, Cathryn, and the worminator
sounds like a really good product. But, it would take a few days to get
here, so for now I'm just going to pick up something at the feedstore,
and I'll order some of the other for another time. Sara
