I don't think Granny ever used a wormer besides herbs and things she already had. Wish she were here or I hadn't been so young and would have remembered more...But with what I've learned from her I've kept healthy flocks for years with very little chemical intrusion and they lay through the...

That helps somewhat as I am familiar with rotating worming solutions with horses (although I don't worm as frequently as recommended to do my part in preventing resistance to wormers). So far my chickens get wormed about once a year since they are free ranged on a large area and kept in a large...
