    Sick chickens..please help.

    There shouldnt be any problems with drafts, i was worried i might not have enough ventilation in one coop but the others should be fine, being dry and no drafts. they all still eat well, but i have not wormed them. What is the best way to worm a chicken and can i still collect eggs?
