I have been selling eggs for 3 years now but I recently got a message from one of my buyers saying they found a worm in their egg, I didn't think it was possible but after doing some research I found out it can happen, I read that if you do find a worm in an egg it means you are not taking care of you chickens very well, I try to do what I can but because of where the coop is it will get quite muddy (the floor is clay) and I have to work really hard to keep it dry!
Like I said before the floor is clay so there aren't any little pebbles to eat and I am thinking maybe the reason why there are worms in my eggs is because there aren't any pebbles for them to eat?
Is there a way to get rid of the worms without using drugs?
I am going to start giving them DE and ACV will that help at all?
I am also thinking of giving them garlic powder.
I give my chickens clean water everyday and Ostershell twice a day(It disappears within 20 minutes)
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can put on the floor to make it more dry?
