I rescued a few chickens in July and was suspicious that they were not laying. I took a fecal sample to the vet and found they did have just a small amount of eggs. I started the basics of acv and garlic, pumpkin seeds - threw a few drop of oxine in the water. Yesterday I went out to the coop and saw what looks like rice noodles on a pile of poo. I have never dewormed and a have a hard time even touching these birds because they are soooo fearful. I found this stuff that is organic called "wormguard plus" made of diatamacious earth, flax, and grapefruit seed extract. Other threads said its just preventative but it says on the website it is a "broad spectrum dewormer". Wouldnt that mean it takes care of worms already there?

I talked to a few local people that have had chickens for years and none of them ever deworm. The local feed mill has never heard of it... Am I crazy? Included some pics. The suspect chicken has a pale comb and was born last Jan supposidly. Really not interested in valbazen or wazine unless they are my only options. I'm new to this but have had a really rough few months with loosing birds so I've experienced my fair share. Sour crop, pendulum crop, fox attacks, Merricks, mites...
