organic way to get rid of worms

[big red chicken]

My chickens are 12 wks old and I have spoted little worms in there food and I'm sooooooooooo scared they have worms. what is the organic way of getting rid of worms?

Worms in their food would not be intestinal parasites from the birds. Probably you have maggots or other grain pests in your food. I'd toss it and get fresh food.
If you're worried about parasites, you can have a vet run a fecal sample to check for intestinal worms.

I agree it is probably bad feed amd as it has been infected with the worms they have eaten all the nutrients out of the feed any way\\

if you ever have to worm the chickens you can take 1 gallon of dry crumbles amd add 3 tbsp of cauanne pepper and feed them this for two weeks and that should also get the worms from thewir body

it also is very good for coccidiosis cure

Thanks for posting this, I always wondered what the ratio was. I need to do this soon as it is time for their preventative. I would rather go natural than chemical!!

some people use the cauanne pepper all the time it isn't that expensive but very good

they also use it for blackhead in turkeys
