You can take some poop into your vet and ask them to do a float test to see if there are worm eggs present and what kind.  No need to worm if they don't have them.  Some parts of the country are more prone to worms. Not here. Too dry.  We have those lovely mites instead. 

If you see worms in their poop without having wormed, you have a bad infestation.  Wild birds spread most of the bad stuff our chickens can get.  Pretty much any chicken in contact with the ground will have worms, but their natural immunity will keep the levels very low.



They do eat earthworms, and I was bummed to find out that earthworms can be carriers for parasitic worms.
Oh no. I didn't realize that. I've fed them a couple of night crawlers before after fishing.
 
Pearl actually told me to call tsc and see if they had any silkies. I think I've found her weakness. But they didn't have any yet. Do the ones from tsc look the same as the one I got from a breeder?
 
Was wondering last night while in the shower.   Does everyone on here also have other pets/animals other then chicken  and do they all have an inside pet???? 


I have a cat, a snake, and 2 dogs, one is mine one is Mike's, and a fish in a two gallon bowl for the GS to feed. I am trying to convince Megan to let me get some quail for eggs. I think they can live in our finished basement. I really need some mice so I don't have to pay $3 each to feed the snake.
