Well it would be nice to know if the chicken has worms---before Its worm, BUT if this person as well as my self and 1000's more like us are not going to take a singled out chicken to the vet, or get a fecal exam, etc, etc(some can not afford it and I am not going to spend $50, $100 or $200 on a single chicken). The sick Chicken will probably die---for sure without some help----so what would you suggest to do other than spending who knows how much money on it???
I am not going to take it to the vet or sit back and watch it die, so I try to help. Worming saved my flock---well we really do not know how many----just no more died. I did have a necropsy done because of so many dying and Having so many. The Vet said being I did not want to do a fecal exam on 1000 chickens-----to worm the Whole flock--no mater if they had worms or not----even though they were groups in 67 different pens. Did not hurt a thing, Did not see any having and bad side effects from the worming. Now I worm A whole pen if I feel one or two are wormy---the rest might be, might not be---but they get wormed. I rarely have a chicken to die anymore since I started using tylan50 and worming with Safeguard any time I feel its needed. My Chicks/chickens are very healthy, not skinny or fat. So even though I am not a Vet--I just try to Help anyone that I can---if they give it a proper size/amount of wormer and it dies----it was probably going to die anyway, but if we doctor it with what we feel it needs and it perks up and does good----I am Happy for the owner.
