Worms.....

It is clear that our experiences with this are very different and obviously that greatly reflects in our attitudes towards the subject. That may indicate that environmental factors have a big impact. I do respect your opinion and think it is important to have a variety of views in a discussion in order for people to come to their own decision.
I am not alone in not worming my chickens and not having a problem with worms, so again this indicates that it will vary with individual circumstances.

I hope you do not feel I am being irresponsible in offering my opinion on this. It is based on experience with more that one species of animal/creature ie horses and chickens (interestingly it applies to parasites on my bees as well) over a number of years and I am not suggesting that people do not worm or think that worms are not a problem, but just to monitor and treat if necessary and to be knowledgeable on the subject.

Agree. I am a parasitology student and this is all true and evidence-based.
