Worms in poop

[Chickie3momma]

I found one worm in chickens poop. Should I treat? I think they are cecal worms, do they only show up in cecal poop? It was in cecal poop

Worms in cecal poop are almost certainly cecal worms. Do you have any Safeguard or Valbazen?

No I don’t have anything. I didn’t want to get the wrong stuff. Someone said Fenbendazole?

Yes, that's what you want. That or Valbazen (albendazole). How many chickens do you have?

For cecal worms & large roundworms, give 0.23 ml per pound of body weight orally and repeat in 14 days.

For all worms except tapeworms, give 0.23 ml per pound of body weight orally for five consecutive days.

Ignore the instruction on the bottle, they're for goats, and goats get way less per pound.

Thank you so much! I should treat all the birds right?
