Hi everyone is talking bugs and parasites can anyone tell me what to use to worm chicks, how old they should be, worming schedule and what to use safely? Please Thank you
 
Hi all, I live in SC. And we have these giant water bugs. I think they are called pallmetti bugs. Will the chickens eat them or will they become an issue and if so how can I get rid of them and not hurt my girls, my babies?

The parasites are in the roaches. I use the DE because the palmetto bugs down here are no joke. It will kill mites and the bugs but mostly just irritates them and keeps them out that way. My chickens free range in the day so I don't know what they eat. I sure that the eat them with the numbers that are around. People feel strongly about DE so if you fall on one side or the other it can get heated. I use it and love it. I used it in my pass career as a safe way to deal with insects. Another option is spraying down every thing with a mix of dish soap(dawn) and water, let soak in to everything, clean repeat. Then find somthing to use around all opens( I would use DE) to keep them out. My girls have a tub of DE as there dust bath.
