Okay, I wormed them ... now what?

I wasn't able to free range them the first day but they left the worms alone. The next day, I free ranged them and continued to let the worms dry out on the surface of the sand until I was reasonably sure they were dead. Today, I tilled the entire run under and sprinkled it with a healthy dose of DE.

Worms cant survive without the host. They are dead or dying.

You do know to worm the chickens again in 7 to 10 days to kill any worms that were still eggs that the 1st worming did not get.

I knew I needed to but I'm having a hard time finding the stuff. Anyone got a picture for me? I'm a very visual person.

I feel silly having to ask but chemicals scare me - a visual helps me know I have the right thing. Thanks, dawg!
