do ducks need to be dewormed?

[cedarcroft]

my ducks run togtehr with chickens & turkeys. They are pekins and muscovy. Does anyone deworm ducks? thanks, ps.s when i dewormed my chickens & turkeys they were penned up separarte & the ducks were left to range free, so as to not ingest any wormy chicken or turkey poop. i'm scraping out and loosing the chickens & turkeys today so everyone will be running all together again.

I am not 100% sure on that one, but I worm all my birds at the same time so they get a dose anyway. I only do it once or twice a year- usually during fall moult when nobody is really laying anyway, since you can't eat the eggs for a while.

X2, I always worm my ducks and goose when I worm my chickens mainly because they all drink out of the same buckets. and also use Epernix pour on on them too.
