Ducklings eating worms

[Duckstail]

So today is like 75 so i put my 5 week and 3 week ducks outside to do some duck business. I saw two of them eat earth worms, i saw how people said dont deworm till 6 month old.

Im assuming theres nothing to be done? Just let them duck around for now? Then starr treatment at 6 months?

Yup! They’ll be completely fine.

earth worms are totally different than the type of parasitic worms you would use a dewormer for

earthworms are good food for chickens and ducks and will not grow and reproduce in their digestive tract or cause health issues, so don't sweat it!

This should help with the other not so nice worms...
