Thank you, I have not gotten a float test in the past I’ve seen roundworms. I have not seen any signs pointing to worms but have heard everybody doing different things with their chickens and am wondering if it’s smart to give them wormers often or after rain?
I only worm when I see evidence of a heavy worm load (roundworms or tapeworm segments in the poop or if the girls are seeming unthrifty for no other reasons). Worming regularly as a preventive could lead to drug-resistance and can be hard on the birds. Chickens get worms through eating intermediate hosts like earthworms, slugs, flies, etc (not much you can do about that) or through the droppings of another infected bird, so the main thing you can do to keep worms in check is to keep a clean coop imo.
