Luke chickens can get worms from the dirt also.

Intermediate hosts for poultry worms include, but are not limited to: mosquitoes, dragonflies, earthworms, beetles, sowbugs, cockroaches, earwigs, grasshoppers....in short, all those yummy bugs we like our chickens to eat. The only way to keep them from getting worms is to keep them in sterile cages off the ground and make sure their food is sterile...and make sure no fly or cockroach gets in there to be eaten! It's not possible. Just worm them.

They can't get worms from well-cooked foods, as the eggs or larval stages that might be present are killed by the heat. That's why we cook pork thoroughly; they carry parasites we can get.

Thanks everyone! I wormed them last night. And I'm not supposed to eat the eggs right?

I think 9am .. ?????

We will be at the poultry show at 7am... but we will be showing some birds... so we have to be there early to have them tested and lend a hand in setting up.

I am taking 5 young serama roosters to sell....

(I guess I will pack some sandwiches for me & hubby's lunch.) I may take some muffins & brownies if I find time to bake them.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone!

RE: Lunch

Sadly I get off work around 8am, then I'll be there hopefully before 10am. There is a little place not too far from there called Stephenson's BBQ. Its a GREAT place to eat and one I rarely get because I rarely venture out that way when they are open. I plan on eating there for lunch and invite anyone who wants to join.
