Looking for a list of remedies (prefer natural) UPDATES

Don't forget Cayenne Pepper in their food to get rid of parasites/worms. The chickens don't "taste" the heat, but the worms do...

D.E. - Diatomaceous Earth (I think I spelled it right)

And Preparation H...I've heard to use that to help treat vent prolapse. That's what happens when a hen lays an egg and for some reason part of her reproductive tract came out too.
