I'm still debating if I should deworm my chickens. Do you deworm your flock regularly just to be sure?
I have 6 young pullets and they have about half acres to roam free, pretty much everyday.
I don't want to stress their system unnecessarily but I also want them protected. They eat anything they see off ground and anything in the ground. We also have field mice running around.
As a preventative measure, I've been giving them ACV water (1 tsp per half gallon). I recently read that I should give ACV only once a week otherwise they'll have digestive issues. How often do you recommend? They seemed to be fine but lately they've been pooping really wet. It also has been really hot too. So I'm not so sure.
I found this natural dewormer and they claim to be effective and it's beneficial rather than taxing on their system. Has anyone used these products? Does this really treat chickens that have worms/parasites or does this work only as preventive like acv? Thanks!
