my chickens are 11 weeks old, I give them ACV in their water daily, and powdered garlic in their food daily. I have not seen any signs of worms in their poop. my question is should I give them a
de-wormer if they do not have any, and how old should they be before I do start to give them Valbazen?

Large roundworms are the only worms that can be easily seen. Would be best to find a vet to do a fecal. FYI, ACV and garlic won't prevent worms, and most vets will tell you that garlic in any form should not be fed to birds.

Hi all, worm question. I just finished my last round of Valbazen as per the James instructions on this thread. Does anyone know of any red worms other than gape worms that I may see discharged? Thanks!

I use Valbazen or Safeguard if I have a sick individual, but for the flock as a preventative I like Levasol. Easy. Been around a while. Works well.

Has anyone used Aviverm? Just read about this recently on another forum.

Isn't the active ingredient of Aviverm levamisole?
