Please Help! Hen acting listless, has a pale comb and diarrhea

I've heard of people using DE as a natural wormer. Does it actually work?

Bella, no DE does not work internally on worms. It helps with external bugs as a preventative, but not internally.

Bella, the easiest thing you can do here is get a poop sample from a few of your birds and put it in a baggie and take it to your vet. Your dog vet is fine. They can do a poop check on this for a low cost fee. (I will even help you if you need the cash) Then you will know if you indeed need to worm at all.

Okay.

Okay. (No, we can pay for it, my dad has a well paying job.)
