Silkie thread!

I wouldn't. And yes, all those pesticides are very stressful on the body. Doesn't matter how many say it won't hurt, it does.
If you don't need to, don't. I believe what makes sense, you can't poison a being into good health. It is simply not possible.
The way our society views medications and pesticides is already biting us in the butt....but your birds, your choice. Look into
"natural rearing" for a different perspective.

I have never seen a worm but I can't free range to many dangers don't want to risk it. They are in a run it's about 8 by 12 with a coop on outside about 4 by 8. Seven Chickens 2 bantys and 5 Silkies. Should I worm?
I put the old hen that's breathing funny in a rabbit cage inside the coop with antibiotics in her water. She's not real happy now breathing worse because she's stressed but even though Co-op said just treat them all it wouldn't hurt the vet said separate her so I separated her I hope she settles down and the medicine works. I wish there was a different way without stressing her maybe I should just treat them all. Now I have to worry about the other chickens picking on her when I let her go in 14 days. I think this stresses me out just as much as it does Henrietta.

Have to share this little guy - Blue - 1 week old - enough attitude for 12 chicks. If he isn't male, she's going to be the MEANEST broody that ever lived ....
