I realized today that my lethargic BR, Dumpling, has roundworms.
Since I was planning to make butternut squash soup for dinner anyway, I scouped out the squash innards, mixed with 2 handfuls of DE, and gave the whole lot to my girls. Dumpling is a hearty eater and I'm confident that she got a healthy portion of that concoction.
I'll keep an eye on her poop & keep you posted on whether or not pumpkin seeds & DE really are effective in worming chickens.
