Question 1

How do you best treat worms in chickens?

Accepted Answer

The simplest and most effective way is to give your chickens Layers Pellets mixed with Flubenvet. It's a dewormer that works really well. Each chicken should get 1kg of this mix, just like their usual food, for 7 days in a row.

Question 2

How Do I Hatch a Sniffer Egg?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's actually great to feed your chickens Red Worms (or mealworms, but that's a different topic). Red Wiggler worms are not only fantastic for composting but they're also packed with protein and nutrients, making them excellent chicken food.

Question 3

What do chicken worms look like in their poop?

Accepted Answer

These worms look similar to the worms you'd find in the garden but are usually white and sharper at both ends, kind of like spaghetti – gross! Chickens get them by eating worm eggs found in another chicken's poop.

Question 4

What gets rid of all worms in chickens?

Accepted Answer

We suggest using Flubenvet/Flubendazole at least two times a year, during spring and fall, to clear out worms. You might need to do it more often if your vet recommends it.

Question 5

How can you stop chickens from getting worms?

Accepted Answer

Try to keep wild birds away from your chickens or out of the coop if you can. Don’t feed your chickens directly on the ground; always use a feeder. Keep the feed off the floor and use feeders and drinkers that can’t get dirty with poop.
