Worms!

[Laurentem]

We’ve had our chickens about 2 weeks and I noticed worms yesterday from someone’s poop. We ordered dewormer, which is going to take a few days to get here. Are there any specific suggestions of what type of dewormer to use? Should we stop eating the eggs for the time being? We’ve never had worms with our past flock, so this is new to me.

Which dewormer did you order?

Those are roundworms.

I am still waiting for the dewormer to arrive. This is what my husband bought.

This is a poultry supplement that is not a dewormer.
