Oh by the way Newchickenmom&kids, thank you for the info. Yeah, this is what one of my books said as well. However, I am wondering if it would look very obvious to me. You know? I mean, if I looked in her throat would I actually KNOW what I am seeing? See that's the part that gets me. Grrr.
I also have to add that I never had chickens or ANY fowl on my land, so I wonder if it is even possible for me to have infected earthworms to begin with!
Ok, maybe I'm not asking the right questions here.
IF I used a regular wormer on ALL my chickens, would that actually rid the chickens of gapeworms on the off chance they actually had them?
Am I being hysterical? Is this a radical step? And which wormer would work best for that specifically if I WAS going to do that?
I'm imagining I can to my feestore for the wormer correct? I know I can get certain wormers...but are ALL wormers the same? I don't need a vet prescription, right?
Boy, reading back I sound like a nut job...what a ninny I am...but I REALLY hate it if I feel like any of my animals aren't well...and I feel like such a novice with these guys. AND they are so little still. :|
