[Pthertel16]

I was cleaning my coop out and noticed this odd poop. Does this look like worms or just sone strange poop?

Umm im not so sure if it is worms and if not you can give them DE(diatomaceous earth)

I've read (on BYC from respectable sources) that DE doesn't work. I think. @aart?

DE can be dangerous to inhale or to get in eyes. It doesn’t help with worms. When DE is ingested and gets wet, it doesn’t do anything. If you want to worm your chickens, use Valbazen or SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer. Those are safe and really work.

We have been using DE for over a 1 and a half and it has kept our chickens dewormed. We have cats that were full of worms so we started DE for them and the worms are gone that was 1 month ago in my opinion I LOVE DE
Why do you not think it does not work?
Just curious.

We also use it for dusting and have NEVER gotten mites or lice

In my opinion I believe it works
I have dewormed all of my animals with it and I even take it. I have been taking it for over a week and my stomach feels amazing.
I have had stomach problems for a couple years.
I feel so relieved
