Strike III Natural Poultry Pellets - for worming?

[old biddy]

I have heard that a more natural and organic way to worm your peahens is to use Strike III natural poultry pellets by durvet. Apparently it is not advertised as a wormer but rather as a food additive for chickens. But word has it that the ingredients are effective as a wormer for poultry, ie., pumpkin seed, oregano and garlic. Any opinions out there?

It might help as a preventative and it might not. And that's directly from the manufacturer's mouth, so there you go. If you deworm regularly with a commercial dewormer...like Levasol or Safeguard...and there are several others...twice a year....I think the natural stuff does help SOME....as a preventative in between dewormings. There are several natural dewormers on the market and that's how we use them.. sometimes as a preventative in between dewormings...especially when we are having a very wet period. I would not trust a natural "dewormer" on it's own, especially to get rid of the hard to eradicate worms, like Capillary worms.

I would not trust anything marketed as a "natural" dewormer.

All of those 'natural' remedies are guaranteed future bird sales for breeders.

Just like the old ACV and cayenne pepper myths.

We used ACV regularly but never heard of Cayenne pepper

neither of them do anything beneficial. '

Actually thats not exactly true. ACV with the Mother in it can be useful in treating or preventing Canker. It can be used to help maintain gut health ( not a dewormer) and is a source of probiotics. I have never heard of using Cayenne pepper either.

No it isn't and nk it's the opposite ACV is not a probiotic and can cause gastrointestinal distress. "Natural" remedies don't work and i wish i had known as much before social media interest groups became a thing. Would have saved alot of heartache and dead birds. As such i will never call them anything but quackery pushed by backyard chicken breeders.

Well all natural is better in my opinion for my flock..
