If you have a high number of chickens kept in a confined and small paddock, you are compounding your worm problems. Taking that into consideration makes me ask myself, “So when my birds have full access to the property and a large area to roam in, what are the chickens doing that keeps worms at bay?”įirst of all, space is important. So that would be the first and easiest organic worm prevention or deworming technique – simply letting your birds have space to range freely. Also, if your chickens have access to a large area with lots of diverse vegetation and insects, they will most likely naturally rid themselves of any worms they happen to have in them regularly and naturally. Now, worms are all over the environment, and many chickens have worms present in their system but never feel any adverse effects. If your chickens are eating a lot but remain very skinny or if they start to lose vitality and vigor, you may have a worm issue.
Not earthworms!) The worms don’t allow your birds to fully metabolize and/or digest their food.
In this case, I am discussing intestinal parasite worms that can end up in your chickens’ digestive tract and damage their health. We’ve discussed deworming and worm prevention in previous blog articles, but I also wanted to discuss organic methods for addressing worms.
