Deworming

[Tooattached]

Ok I didn’t want to wait till I lost one or more and my vet said no fecals for chickens

I’m new at this I have 30 that are now a lil over 9 weeks that are apparently going through a lil molt. I guess getting their big girl feathers I read a cool article on their different poops which it all seems fine.
They are now starting to free range and we have plenty of wild birds around pooping freely
So far the only thing I saw I thought were worms seemed to be pieces of shavings.
Is there something I can give them annually

Welcome to BYC, may I suggest you get one of these and have a fecal done?

Young birds will go through several molts their first year and after that usually go through their molt once a year. I've never wormed young birds. On my older birds I use fenbendazole AKA Panacur and safe-guard for worming. There are several websites with information. Good luck...
