Hello and

Note about worms: they can carry parasite eggs and diseases that can infect poultry. Best wishes with your wee flock of chooks.

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

My chickens eat worms all the time with no ill effects. Good source of protein.

Welcome to BYC!

Worms in limitations are ok. But earthworms are known to carry tapeworms. So keep it down to a dull roar, and it you see any signs of worms later on down the road, get them on a worming program.

If you have any questions about anything, that is what we are here for!

Welcome to our flock!
