They have worms

[KikiDeAnime]

I was out hanging out with the flock and when one of them decided to poop next to me, I noticed a white/clear-ish worm in the poo wiggling around. I only knew that it was one of the buff orpingtons that pooped but I want to de-worm everyone.

I'm hoping to give them something natural so I won't have to stop collecting eggs.

What do I give them?

Did you get a picture of the worm? You need to know what you have so you can use the correct dewomer.

No.
And it looked similar to a regular worm but was very tiny and white/clear-ish.

Time to gather droppings and have a fecal float test done.

Sounds like round worms to me.
Wazine 17 should do the trick.

Thank you so much!!
It was a roundworm.
But why is it so tiny and white/clear-ish??

It does sound like you saw a roundworm, not the end of the world. Wazine 17 is no longer available. But you may use Valbazen 1/2 ml given orally to each chicken, and again in 10 days to get the worm larvae. Or get Safeguard Liquid Goat Wormer and give 1/4 ml per pound to each chicken, either once and repeat in 10 days, or give it for 5 straight days for all chicken worms including capilarry and gapeworms. SafeGuard is more easily available in feed stores, but Valbazen which is found online will treat many chickens for years.

When did that happen? I don’t think the bottle I have is over a year old.
