Worm prevention

[Joeschooks]

Hello and welcome to BYC! As wyorp rock says, good husbandry goes a long way to prevention. Personally I prevent worms by feeding layers pellets with flubendazole periodically, perhaps every 8 months or so. I’m sceptical as to whether stuff like cayenne pepper and DE powder actually works but some people seem to have good results.

G'Day from down under KAT.... Welcome!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

BYC has Topic of the Week discussions which I have found to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining; so definitely worth checking out. This one will probably be of interest to you I think:
Topic of the Week - Deworming chickens

If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.
