White long worms in poo - do I need to move chicks from mom?

Tape worms are only spread by eating the flea. Do chickens have fleas? Or do they just eat fleas from other animals?

If you have a heavy infestation of worms and you have never wormed its better to start with the wazine (this paralyzes the worms so they can be shed without overwhelming the chickens) then follow with another wormer 10 days later I used safeguard there are many different types. Once you use the wazine and 2nd de-wormer the next year Just use like safeguard or valbazen or another type of wormer. DE does not kill worms on the inside it does not work once it is wet. I do use it in my coop and in dust bath area it will kill lice/mites it also does work on fleas.

caspernc- dogs that eat fleas will get round worms tapeworms are carried in earthworms, grass hoppers And if your dog has worms the chickens if they can will eat the worms from the dog poop, chickens will eat ticks. fleas, any and all bugs that they can find.
