Worms in the scat

[Kiki]

It's real..it happens.
No one ever wants to believe that their chickens can have worms...til they see them, which in my opinion is kinda late in the game.
I would think that a chicken would have to be FULL of worms in order to poop them out....JUST my opinion.

I'm glad she found them now before they killed her chickens, or worse she cracked open an egg that had worms in it!

@KikisGirls Basically, no egg use for a month, got it. Also, when bringing in new chickens, what's the best way to worm? I'm still learning, so I appreciate all your help so much!

@Sublight I know, right?! I actually yelled, "EW, ANNA! NO, no, no! Those are WORMS!" Duh. Haha!

The same way you are about to worm them now.

Wazine in the water, got it. Ugh...am I going to have to look at a bunch of wormy poo every morning when I clean the coop?

This is the only kind of worm you'll see in chicken poop,
all others are microscopic, not visible to the naked eye.
Wazine will only kill round worms(maybe one other?).
The withdrawal period starts the day after the last treatment.

Any other worms need a fecal float by a lab that can report species and counts of any other worms present and if ans what kind of treatment will kill them.

@MrsAuberry00 ...sorry for your trouble, but....Great Video...glad dinner is some hours away.

I had a fecal done on my hens and they have capillara or roundworms. My vet gave me wormer but my question is after I treat them do I need to clean the run and house with anything? I have just been raking the run and scooping the house out.
