These things would not rid a worm infection in a chicken. I would highly recommend you get a real deworming med for yourself soon.

Oh so sorry. I hope you get rid of them soon.

@casportpony Do you think one can catch worms from their chickens?
Or do the chickens and the humans get the worms from the same place?

I strongly recommend seeing a physician and getting treated with a known effective medication.
