Do you need to Worm Chickens? and how do they get worms ? HELP

Worms will make your birds sick eventually eating all the nutrients and the bird gets a little and a day at a time the bird starves. You will see for sure in the stool worms just like in dog poop but not as large. Tape worms will be large but bird worms are smaller. If you see no worms, no blood and no symptoms like lazy, sickly, no energy then I would do something. The first thing to do would be to worm if it is present or take it to the vet. Best of luck and welcome to the BYC

 

Yes, all chickens will get worms if their feet touches the earth and they pick at real things like what crawls on the ground.
Please see my posting about parasites in my signature line. It explains alot.
