Worming chickens

[Tpaxton]

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. It's best not to worm unless you actually see worms in their poo or you have a fecal exam(vet) show postive and a particuliar type of worm. DE folks tend to be divided - about half and half love vs hate. I wasted money on DE many years ago and it didn't do anything. Wormers can be harsh, and to use the wrong type of wormer can be useless at best, or harmful when not needed.

Ok I haven't seen worms in poo but I have one hen that has lite pin km comb n wattles n thought it might be parasites

Have you checked her skin for mites/lice? Heavy infestations can make the host(chicken) anemic.

Great! Look for this easy to use Permethrin spray:

You usually will not actual seeeorms on poop until the chicken is INFESTED with them and the worms literally have no more room to stay inside.

Can you get a few pictures of this bird with the pink comb?
