Worming Ducklings ??

[vachicks]

I did a search and didn't see anything under this topic. I have 2 ducklings around 4 weeks old got them at a feed store. I also have 5 chickens in the same yard, the ducks are in a smaller pen where the chicks can't get to them. I had one of my chicks poop beside me today and it has several round worms in it...I am getting wazine for the chicks and was wondering about the ducks, can I worm them now? they are growing FAST and are eating well, they have only been outside about a week now, I need some advise..

Thanks for your help

Go ahead and worm the chicks but unless you know for sure the ducklings have worms, it is not a good idea to worm them. It could do more harm than good.
