If they're anything like cats, you won't see them in every poop.

You are lucky,in cats you can look at their butts and see the little white worms,they look like grains of rice. Oh, and if you are lucky enough,they will throw one up right in front of you,i HATE tapeworms!!!!!

Glad you confirmed. I have 4 of 18 clean now and I was hoping that you would comment. I have 2 geriatric hens (7+ years) that don't lay, so I'll treat them anyway....so....that leaves only 12 more for me to watch today


Yes, the pictures are disgusting. The first time I saw them I literally wanted to barf ...they had all come to the surface and were poking out like little white spikes. Repulsive..... Other things I noted were that the feed was getting eaten in about half the normal time, and suddenly there was TONS of poop and LARGE poops.

Welp, lets hope this does it!!
