Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I worm my birds with Flubendazole but most like to use Fenbendazole in the form of Safeguard liquid goat wormer dosing 0.5 mls/average sized chicken, 0.25 mls/bantam chicken. An easy way to get it into the chicken is to put into a piece of bread and feed it to them one at a time. AWAY from the others as they will try to steal each other's dose.
Repeat the treatment in 10 days.

Lose the DE. It's not doing any good being eaten and it is a respiratory irritant. DE is a whole lot of hype with little delivery.

It takes a long time, many weeks, for a flock to integrate and they will not fully integrate until the pullets start laying. Give them lots of things to hide behind, climb and jump on and dig around in so the bigs have other more entertaining things to do than pummel pullets.

A lot of things I cant find around here....I will try the dewormer forbgoats if I can find it.
Thank you so much for the advice!

Welcome to BYC. If your chickens have roundworms you can try the ivermectin horse paste orally. The dose I use is 0.02 ml per pound of body weight. If the worms you saw were not roundworms you will need to use a different de-wormer because ivermectin has lost its efficacy against most poultry worms.

Welcome to BYC. Years ago DE was hyped as just about a cure all for everything. I bought some and discovered it was totally useless. Would never fall for that again.

Thanks for the input. I will see how it goes.
