What are you guys using to worm your chickens? I use food grade DE and it is fairly safe, just don't get it in your lungs. Here is a link to some information about it:

We have 2 kid goats. They are pets more than anything. We have been bottle feeding them since we got them and my girls love their goats as if they were a dog. We made the decision to have their horns removed. We did not want an accident happening, whether to us or once of our other animals...
My run doesn't get too muddy, except where the ducks sit and make mud pies. Those 2 ducks can drain a 3 gallon waterer in just a few hours making mud pies.
I have 2 ducks, a rouen and a golden hybrid 300. The one that quit laying is a golden hybrid 300. We got her and the rouen back in February. They were laying an egg each, everyday. Two weeks ago we had a terrific wind storm. They were protected in their coop, but the pen has a heavy tarp...
We got 10 chicks from the feed store and 1 or 2 have poop clinging on to their rears. Is it something that will pass or is it something I need to treat them for? I was wondering if maybe DE would help.
Thank you for your help.
