Sometimes chickens eat dirt to get some vital nutrients they are lacking from their usual diet. I leave them with their feed 24/7 and give them treats and they still eat dirt ! As for the worm problem have you tried giving them some diatomaceous earth? It works wonders and its 100% natural.
Yeah it's a Netflix original so they of course are going to have another season ! Only thing I absolutely hate is that it will premiere during the summer so we have to wait like 10 months

@chickengeorgeto ah! good choices of words . Hmm I guess my hens just eat a lot and considering my entire neighbor is a stray cat refuge id rarely think to see any rodents. Apologize for the wrong topic selection I just signed up today :p
If you have any extra egg shells laying around I'd recommend crushing it and feeding it to them . Hens honestly don't tend to eat oyster shells or egg shells unless they want too, you kind of have to make them want to eat it . I find mixing it with sesame seeds or some dried herbs makes them go...
