They are on day two, so far so good. They like the taste of Safeguard and I put it on top shelf snacks, so they appreciate the attention.They can still have worms in the poop but not seen. The worm eggs may only be seen with a microscope at the vet.
Worms are released from the intestinal lining, then absorbed as protein. It's highly unlikely you'll see worms in feces unless there is an overload. Yes, by the 5th day your birds will be worm free. Have patience and dont worry, everything will be fine.They are on day two, so far so good. They like the taste of Safeguard and I put it on top shelf snacks, so they appreciate the attention.
How do I know if it is working if I won't see worms in poo ? I have been picking up all the poo I spot with toilet paper to smoosh and see if I spot anything. So far it is just a weird behavior the chickens must assume is a crazy-human fetish, none of them contain anything interesting.
This is just an act of faith? I assume after the fifth day everyone is clean ?
I am glad the process is so clean: I was concerned if the poos contained worms they could re-infect. But I admit I was looking forward to seeing the darn things and squishing them but good for hurting my girls. I will have to forgo the pleasure of the squish but at least I can stop investigating the poo.Worms are released from the intestinal lining, then absorbed as protein.

I agree with your 'yuck'I've seen chickens turn around and actually eat large roundworms.
