Hello Darrell, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
The bumps in the intestine are disconcerting. If you experience another death, i would send the body to your state lab for necropsy.

Hello and a belated welcome. I'm sorry about your losses.

Unfortunately, that's not a wormer, it's also horrible for both your and your birds respiratory systems.
It's Basically asbestos, bad for you and the environment .

Food grade is fine as it has a miniscule amount of silica in it. I've used it in my parrot cages for over 20 years and they have more delicate respiratory systems than chickens.

It doesn't work, that's the thing. At all.
The food grade is what I'm referring to, it's not safe, even more so since people use it because it's they think it's safe.
It isn't used in food prep, you're thinking of Montmorillonite, which is sometimes in de, which is actually barely used.

It's in most chicken feed. It's in mine, Kalmbach's.
