How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

[Schicks15]

De worming time here, so no egg count for 3 weeks. Glad I kept all the production from last week to get us through this. Egg sandwich anyone?

When and how often do you deworm your chickens? Thanks!

Never.
Actually, I wormed a rooster once that I knew had worms but I wouldn't do it on a schedule. Maybe I would if I lived where it stayed hot and wet longer than it does here.

I de worm twice a year if not 3. I sell any overage on eggs and my birds are free range now and then if not locked in my run.Has been a wet year in Ohio and the worms have been above ground many times.

I approach de-worming the same for all my animals - it is done as needed/when indicated. Scheduled de-worming heightens the chance of contributing to the issue of resistance in parasites to the commonly used chemicals do to the increased exposure to them.

I use deciduous earth, it is all natural, and I put some in their food. Also, I line the bottom of the coop with it, before putting hay down. Not a poop covered egg in a long time. This way, you can still eat the eggs, and still keep the birds wormed.

Yeah - DE (by the way that is Diatomaceous) is one of the bandwagons on which I refuse to leap. The proof of its ineffectiveness in control and/or elimination of internal parasites is enough for me.
