Worms in chicken poop please help!

[Cinnamon11]

I was outside and saw my hen poop and then a long stringy (I think) worm started wiggling in the poop! What do I do?!

Safeguard dewormer worked best for us! It’s for goats but can also be used for chickens! What we did was put a teaspoon of safeguard into every gallon of water! We did this for about 3-4 days then waited a week and did it again! But you can’t eat your chickens eggs for awhile after their dosages! I forget how long but maybe someone else can tell you?

Sorry about your hen! Diatomaceous Earth will not deworm your birds. You're going to need to use a real dewormer like Safeguard. "All-natural" dewormers such as pumpkin seeds, VetRx, and garlic are often snake oil, unfortunately.

Safeguard worked very well for deworming my small flock. Here is @casportpony on dosage:

The one lesser dose of 0.023 ml per *five* pounds *is* correct, but it only treats large roundworms and cecal worms and has *zero-day* egg withdrawal. This dose should only be used if you know you don't have capillary worms. The per-pound dose for this is 0.0045 ml.I

The 0.23 ml per pound for 5 days dose will treat all worms, including the hard to treat capillary worm. Egg withdrawal is at least 14 days after the last dose.

Ok thank you!

Good advice topochico225! I hope you will be able to get her all dewormed!

Thanks so much! On Amazon I found the Safe-Guard and it can get here tomorrow should I order it?

I would say yes!

Last night I added the wormer and they are drinking it!

 

[JustBabyMargo]

Yay! That’s good news!!

Give her and the your flock a de-wormer which can be purchased at feed store or online.

Wazine works also there are natural methods but those are more of a preventive or if you catch it early.
