I have some baby chicks that are about 2-3 months old and I think they are all infected with some intestinal worms.
Symptoms:
1. Hunched over
2. Little energy
3. Diarrhea stools
4. Stools have blood or worms.
5. They have a really strong stinky 'smell/odor' to them
Should I deworm naturally or deworm with medication...?
Most of these chickens will be slaughtered for meat. So...I figured I would rather go the 'natural' deworming route since I don't like the idea of eating chickens that have been medicated.
What solutions do you guys have as far as a 'natural' deworming solution...?
The only solution or route I have seen or heard is supplementing their feed with some kind of natural herb, vegetable, plant or food that has anti-microbial/anti-bacterial properties to help kill the worms/parasites in their stomach.
I was thinking of using a mixture of Lemon Grass, Ginger/Turmeric, Garlic and Rosemary...mixed in a 1:1 ratio with their feed and given to them for as long as it takes until I see no more diarrhea/worm symptoms.
Help...?!?!?
