Chicken worms

[Birking-chickens]

Help! I was down at the chicken coop the other day and on the roof there was a nasty poop completely infested with large worms and I’m worried it’s life threatening ( I will attach a pic below but beware it is nasty.) Please does anyone have any fast and (maybe natural) remedies that will help my chickens. Thanks.

Yikes. You're going to need product called Valbazen.
"give 1/2 ml orally and repeate in 10 days. SafeGuard liquid goat wormer is also an option, 1/4 ml given orally, and repeat in 10 days. SafeGuard may also be given for 5 straight days to treat other worms beside round worms. Valbazen treats those with just the 2 doses. Most feed stores carry SafeGuard, and if you cannot find Valbazen it is sold here:

Unfortunately, there are no effective natural wormers.

Thank you. The hard thing is I don’t know which of the chickens is having the issue.

You can pretty much assume all of them have worms.

Is it safe to give chickens something for horses and goats? Also how will it affect my organic eggs?

Yes...the Safe-Guard product is actually the same exact thing but in a liquid form for the goat and a paste form for the horse.
Both can be used on a chicken.
Not quite sure what you mean by how it's going to affect your organic eggs.

Like am I going to have to throw out my eggs for a certain amount of weeks after giving them the medicine?

Probably, I think it's 3 weeks. But they die without treatment.

Some people do and some people don't.
It's a personal choice.
