I have wondered why people say
DO NOT FEED CICKENS EARTH WORMS

NOW I KNOW WHY?

First the earthworm is the host of Capillary worm. So indeed they could have them.
I worm my birds with panacure wormer 3cc per gallon of water for 3 days then again 14 days later
It's also a host for the cecal worm, which can carry blackhead and is very dangerous to peafowl and turkeys.

Note: 3 cc per gallon will not treat them.
