I do not know if garlic is the magic pill for worms,, It may be??
The product below is what is recommended at my Feed Store to control worms... I never encountered worms in my flock that I had concerns with. I only keep a small flock of pets.
There are other products out there, Lets see what others recommend.

I would suggest safeguard. You can find that at tractor supply. While natural products may help prevent worms, they are Not going kill them if you have an infestation.

They are long,white and look like spaghetti.

Probably roundworms.

Went and got this . I cleaned the coop the best I could pulled out the huge can of water and put in a smaller one so I can see that they're drinking the medicated water. I'm going to have them pinned for 7 days. I'll clean the pin everyday and give them medicated fresh water every day. Hope I get rid of those worms. Will medicate them once a month from now on. Thank you so much for your advice..

This Zyfend stuff isn't going to get rid of worms.

Hello: Use Safeguard. You really don't need to keep them in - the dewormer will work without containing them.

It's hard for me to beleave what will work when so many people are telling me what they use works. I'm going with zyfend for now if I see worms in their poop after 10 days of use then I'll switch to something else.

Safeguard is my next choice.
