@KikisGirls is an expert on worming! Hopefully she can help you out. Good luck with your flock!

Garlic does not work to kill an active worm infestation. Nor does DE, pumpkin, or any of the other natural wormers people recommend.

You'll want to pick up a broad spectrum wormer like Safeguard or Valbazen and worm all your birds with that.

You are the one who has the hen with the prolapse, right? Is it that hen who has tiny worms? Make sure those are not maggots from flies laying eggs. Do you have a picture of the eggs, poop, or vent?

If they are maggots, you will need to give a warm soak with Epsom salts, soapy water, or betadine and water to get them off. Maggot infestation is called flystrike and can be deadly.

I have never had to worm any of my hens, but the feed store sells dewormer and I am sure the directions are on the bottle. I wish you luck! Maybe just don’t worry about eating the eggs during the time you are treating them. I don’t think garlic would do the job! I hope you get help from some of the people on this site. I am having my own problems with one of my chickens that I am trying to get help for too

That sounds like tapeworms. Get a picture when you can. Tapeworms are more difficult to get rid of than other worms in chickens, and if that is what you have, you will need a wormer with praziquantel in it. Valbazen can work with multiple dosages, but Equimax horse wormer is good. I will look up dosage. Here is a video of tapeworms:
