Power wash to get rid of worms?

[Duckduckchicken32]

Hello! Our chickens might have worms, so we are treating them for it, but I was wondering when we power wash the coop if it will mold because it doesn’t get sun? Also, should we use plain water or something in it? Thanks!

For mine I just cleaned out the shavings and put out fresh and electrolyte water.

What worms do your chickens have and what exactly are you using to get rid of them?

Power washing is not going to get rid of worms.

we aren’t sure what type of worms, but one of our girls is really skinny and some poop looked weird. I have to look at what we got for the chickens, I can’t remember.

This is what we are using, it was able to be here the fastest. Quarterhorses1, what electrolytes do you use? We have save a chick electrolytes, but I don’t know if that will help grown birds. Thanks for your advice!

Power washing won't get rid of worm eggs anywhere...and it could easily cause mold/mildew/rot in a wooden coop.

Oregano oil won't get rid of worms inside a a chicken...and could have detrimental effects.

Okay! What else should I use instead of the oregano oil?

Why do you think they have worms?
How old are birds, in weeks or months?
What all and how exactly are you feeding?

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.

I’ll add that feature! They turned two years old in april, and we are feeding layer pellets. We are in New York. We are not completely sure that it’s worms, but a few of our chickens feel thin, and they always have access to feed and water. One of the girls that are thin was attacked a month ago by a fox or coyote, but her back had a few little scrapes and missing feathers but that was it.

What breeds?
How do you mean thin?
Are they laying?
