Worms? *gross picture*

[K3nzi3]

Maybe you can just go to vet for some meds? It will be much quicker than shipping stuff. But yes, that stuff should do it.

So I called 3 vets, asked neighbors with chickens, researched the internet, with one result: The laws in Germany about deworming chickens have apparently changed and must be super ridiculous. No vet wants to give me Solubenol or FLUBENOL. You can't buy it online. How do other chicken owners handle that problem in Germany???
I will buy Safeguard for goats online and wait 10-14 days for the shipping. In the meantime I will call more vets and check if there is one who would give out Solubenol or Flubenol.

My poor girls have to wait so long, we saw the worms a couple days ago already. All 5 look and behave healthy though.

I believe they should be fine for a few days since you just noticed it. And if they are acting fine I wouldn't be too worried about the wait, but when you do get it, I would give asap. Maybe you can help them out a little by providing some probiotics and electrolytes for anything the worms are taking from your chicken.

Okay, I will give them more bananas and yoghurt then.
What about garlic until I receive my package?. Is that a hoax that it works against worms?

I've never tried garlic, but it can't hurt to try it. And even if it doesn't work, they will probably still be getting some benefit from the garlic. (And I may be wrong, but I have heard that garlic helps prevent worms before they get them, not after.)

Somebody suggested the worm cures Flubenol and Solubenol to me. I can buy those online for 10 bucks but they are for cats and small dogs. Can I use them on my chickens too? Would be nice if I wouldn't have to pay the 45$ for the Safeguard and wait for 2 weeks.
So my question basically is, can I use a cure for cats and small dogs on chickens?

You could use it, but we would have to figure out the dose.

Can you buy stuff from the UK?

See if you can find some of the Panacur suspension (225 ml).

Thank you so far! I won't go to the vet because I'm not a fan of treating with chemicals. Does a natural product work? I'm from Germany and am leaning towards this product https://www.amazon.de/AniForte-Wurm-Formel-Naturprodukt-Hühner-Grossvögel/dp/B00X2OANLM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1509042820&sr=8-1&keywords=wurmkur+hühner

Does that sound like something that could work?

OMG those Amazon reviews are so funny...I especially enjoyed the one about they use the latin name for walnuts, ...ect....Things my hens can find on their own already!

"Zutaten , lateinische Namen für MÖHRE; WALNUß; PETERSILIE; THYMIAN; BEIFUß; WERMut. Dinge die meine Hühner sich selbst suchen können. Glücklich sind die Hühner denen diese Kräuterlein statt Chemie verabreicht wird. Ganz einfach selber suchen, kann fast alles in Töpfchen gezüchtet oder in naher Umgebung gefunden werden.gesucht oder VIEL ZU TEUER gekauft werden."
