You can read a million different people and get a million different answers. I have been told DE is actually not good for chickens and wont treat worms and pumpkin isnt proven to treat worms. I believe if you want to do the best for them You watch their poop and if you see anything get them tested. Or maybe once a yr have them tested. I cant afford that so I do once in a blue moon worm them "willy nilly" I rather be safe then sorry but in my yrs of keeping them I have only wormed a couple times. Mites are much more a problem for me and I have lost chickens to them.
