What's a good wormer to use that will get rid of as many types of worms as possible with the least amount of egg withdraw time? I have 38 chickens, so one at a time may be difficult.

Does any one have any good pics of what the different worms look like can't seem to find any in the BC search engine. I have looked at poop but I don't know what I am looking for of even if they are visible to the naked eye. What are some of the symptoms I heard that dirty eggs are a sign but I have never had a fresh laid dirty egg ???
Thanks Harry
