Hens Dying

DE will not get rid of the roundworms.
You should treat your entire flock with Corid and deworm them all.
Valbazen is a good wormer

Yes, I have heard the same about DE. I have wormed with Wazine twice prior to this - but after the first died.

Any suggestions for the Capillaris?

Flubendazole will get rid of the Capillaris worms.

Thanks.

Can that be purchased over the counter or do I need to get it from a vet?

They sell it at TSC or any feed stores.
It's sometimes sold in the goat and horse sections.

btw..Capillaris is ROUNDWORM.
Wazine has been known to not work too good.

I just had to treat my girls for roundworm. Does anyone know if I should do anything to prevent re-infestation? I have been raking up all the poop but is there something else I should be doing and for how long do I need to clean in up?

The best thing to do is treat them twice a year.
