Help me decide how to worm my flock?

Well, pumpkin/squash seeds are free and so are garlic peels. And each chickens only needs a small pinch of herbs each deworming time so it actually is pretty cheap. Also if you grow a lot of those herbs yourself the cost is next to nothing.

Carry on.

Then continue to use them! You'll learn the hard way like others who've gone the organic route.

Have you ever tried using organic things/herbs? If you haven't you are only going off of the opinions of others.

I know that there are some people online that say that, but I know that those things work. I've had chickens and goats dying from worms and I healed them through herbs and the other things that I mentioned. I've had tons of chickens and goats for a long time and have never had one death from worms and I've never used any medicine! some more herbs that work for deworming are Cayenne pepper fruit, Clove bud, Fennel seed, Garlic Bulb, Ginger Root, Hyssop leaf, Mullein leaf, Thyme leaf, Wormwood leaf/herb to make it simpler for people to deworm their animals they can just buy this herb mix: https://www.firmeadowllc.com/store/p818/DWA_(tm)__-_16_oz__supports_body_in_foreign_matter_removal.html

Agreed, they all work, tried them lots of times.

Hahaha. Thanks for the laugh. Yes, a very very long time ago. They simply did not work. You will eventually learn as well.

By the way, how many years do you think it will take because I've been using only herbs for about 4 years.

lol nothing like reviving an old thread for the organic vs chemical argument. I used safeguard for goats. my peachicks pooped out dead worms. I am happy. I believe organic things may have worked once upon a time, but most critters these days are too evolved for that. plus, the idea of a natural chicken raising method might work for natural chickens, but these are highly mutated through genetic selection methods.

When I use Safeguard liquid goat wormer, I usually dose my birds for 5 days straight. That way I dont have to worry about the worms I cant see in feces.
We eat the eggs after using Safeguard, still here typing. I dont recommend eating the eggs if someone suspects they might have a reaction to the minute residue in the eggs.
I dont own peafowl, sorry I cant help you in that regard.

I just bought the safeguard goat wormer. Do you put it in there water or give it to them orally through a syringe?

Safeguard dosage is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally to each chicken for 5 days using a syringe without a needle.
