    2 Year Old Buff Orpington Sick - I don't know what's wrong

    UPDATE: Checked her vent internally, didn't feel anything odd, eyes and nose clear, getting around a bit better, didn't notice mites - but she is losing weight.

    Should I deworm?

    My flock is doing well and healthy - laying nicely. However, I was wondering - should I deworm regularly? Only if they seem ill? What is the protocol for this? I want to keep my ladies healthy and happy. Thanks! Jenn K - Michigan
