Worming

[Peanutjmw]

When should I worm and what to worm 4 week old Chicks with. Natural or Chemical?

Worming usually isn't done before one year.

There are no "natural remedies" that I know of that will remove an infestation of worms. See the thread linked below. However, they can and do tolerate some worms. There are a lot of factors, one of which is how heavy the worm load is likely to be in your area -- usually much heavier in warm, moist climates and soil. One experienced chicken keeper in my area worms his adults 4 or 5 times a ear -- and some people never worm.

Thanks. Just wanted to have healthy chicks. Always bought full grown hens.
