Roundworm?

[thiggins]

i found two of these worms on the poop board this morning.
Google says this is a roundworm? How do I treat?! I have 4 week old baby chicks (they still sleep with momma chicken in their own area, no worms there).
Do I treat them as well?

I’m not an expert on worms, but @casportpony might be able to help.

I'm not an expert either, but you have several choices to treat large roundworms.

• Wazine - treats roundworms only and can be put in water.
• Safeguard (fenbedazole) treats roundworms and cecal worms when given once and repeated in 10 days. More consecutive days are needed to treat capillary worms and gapeworms. Works best if given orally.
• Valbazen (albendazole) - treats most worms when given once and repeated in 10 days. Gapeworms require three days. Works best if given orally.

How many hens do you have? How do you feel about discarding eggs? Answer those questions and I'll help you come up with a plan.
