Testing

[FARMminiature]

Does anyone test their chickens poop yearly? Should preventative methods just be used to keep a healthy flock? What do you do to keep your flocks healthy?

I do test yearly and look out for behavior issues!

Fecal testing annually is a good idea, or any time you are concerned. Some of us have few issues with intestinal parasites, some have to treat often.

I’ve never tested their poop. I have been thinking it would be a good idea to help keep them healthy. Do you go through your vet, or do you send it through an online company? I would like to find an online company if you have any suggestions. Also, I like that you do it annually. What all do they test?
