Question and a bit of background:
I have ducks, geese, guineas and chickens. I would like to deworm them. I have seen round worms(yuck). Yikes, but what a task! Any advice on how to tackle this? My chickens are cooped during the day, so adding something to their drinking water and leaving them cooped is not a problem. The ducks and geese probably needed to dosed individually due do how they go thru water. I can probably catch them to do this(they free-range) The guineas are the real issue, they also free range and I probably can't catch them all to dose them. Ideas or suggestions?
Other details:
My chickens are mostly laying hens. The guineas will come up for scratch in the evenings, but I don't have a way/place to pen them. I found roundworms under the guineas roosting area and also in a green poo pile(which makes me suspect duck or goose) I have not see any in the chickens droppings.
Help!
Thanks
