Worms

[Sylvialarry]

I heard that if your chickens have worms they will lose their feather around their bottom. Our plymoth rock is losing feathers around her bottom and I'm not sure if she needs to be wormed. Do chickens need to be wormed and if so how often?

I've not heard that before. People usually fall into 3 camps about worming.
Worm regularly
Worm at evidence of worms
Never worm

Here's a good discussion of worming:
