I am currently worming two older ISA Brown hens. They are in the same coop as the littles, but separated. The littles have their own run that is alongside the big girls run, and there is an opening in it to allow the littles to cross into the danger zone of the big girls. This means they are in contact with the feces of the hens that are being wormed. Is this a problem?
Also, the new run they are in is mainly dirt, but it does contain a lot of earth worms, which the little chicks find plenty of while digging around. I don't know what gives chickens worms, but I'm brining this up, since the littles can and do eat them. Should I consider worming the littles as well to be safe, or is this even necessary?
