I have hard time getting into those older threads myself. Not as maintained as here.

Are worms in fish generally speaking more often than not?

I think you would be hard pressed to find any critter that does not harbor at least some types of worms, whether they be in freshwater or saltwater. Most do not have the ability infect us even when consumed alive like in sushi / sashimi. Do not eat your crayfish raw as that can kill! Japanese found that out the hardware with your Red Swamp Crayfish.

Do not feed live crayfish or freshly killed wild minnows to chickens either. They eat them like candy but some parasite they carry normally might cause fish eating birds no problem but may hammer chickens. Fish reared in tanks are no problem.

I bet he would suck them out.

how's that hen doing

I came home and released the hens at about 9 AM this morning, and spread three waters and more than usual feed around the yard to thwart cranky moody Amidala having a monopoly on food and water. Leia was very active today, running around and foraging and very cross with me for putting the "Super Chicken Washcloth Cape" on her which she kept finding ways to get half way off, so I finally took it off her before I went back to work. (I will work on the design some more). Leia's pooh is now correct moisture level. She is still dyed a nice Orange and shows no new pecking damage or feathers being pulled. My work really messed with my plans to go to the feed store, but I was able to get bulk black sunflower seeds at the grocery store on the way home tonight... so I mixed up their feed for tomorrow with Sunflower, seaweed, various kinds of red pepper including whole seeds, cranberries, and turmeric and have put that out (I may add fresh ginger)... I go to work before chickens get up and come home after they have returned to the coop, this is one reason why getting home at lunch to release them is so important, also it allows me to make sure hubby is okay (I do not want him in the backyard, last time he went out there he fell bad, hit his head... the cancer has really done a number on him and the blood thinners they have him on makes any injury worse.) But the rest of this week home for lunch is not happening (work has been crazy) so I will open their pen tomorrow AM before they actually get up (flash light inspect her) and then go to work... I will open all three doors, as I am worried that if I only open 1 door they will not be able to escape if a predator gets in the coop as the raccoons, skunks, possums, foxes and cats are still out at that time. I see no signs of infection on her so that is also good. I am debating brewing up a wash I learned about by reading up on Vietnamese Game Cock care, I researched all the herbs and they are all good for healing up a bird and keeping them healthy when coming into contact with other birds (anti viral and anti bacteria and anti creepy crawler stuff) ... but that will be the whole spas treatment, blow dryer, so I need several hours to brew, wash, dry and oil her up.

I am thinking Amidala might be more moody this time around as she kept trying to set eggs right up to her molt and was very cross with me for taking the eggs away daily... sort of a hyper broody molt cranky mood that has made her more territorial than normal.

What feed are you diluting with the other ingredients and at what proportion. You may be making a vegan out of a bird sorely in need of quality protein to drive skin and feather repair.

yep.. thats the beauty of science, but its usually at the cost of someones pride/work/reputation.

I wanted to see the dinosaur chicken embryo they developed in the egg with teeth and tail. Culled them before they hatched tho

I know me too, was bummed when I found out they culled them... come on that was Mad Science I could get behind. Sigh

Patience, if there is money in it, then it will be done. Watch South Korea and China closely. Era of custom pets yet to come.
