Summertime Wormer

[KnightsCoop]

I was wondering if anyone had a summertime wormer recipe. I know there's a bit of a debate about the effectiveness of pumpkin; but that's a moot point this time of year.

I've read that watermelon temporarily paralyses worms allowing them to pass through. They do love watermelon.

If you have a recipe you've had success with, please share.

Watermelon nor pumpkin will treat worms. The seeds must be crushed in order for the cucurbitacin to be released in order to be effective. A chicken would have to eat a truck load of crushed seeds for the cucurbitacin to be effective.
Benzimidazoles are the way to go when worming chickens.
