Why do chickens shed intestinal lining?

Well what is the best over all wormer, I don't think their little bodies can take a bunch of dewormers

Best bang for the buck is Valbazen.

Like our dogs and cats we can upset the chickens too by changing feed to fast. Here are some links for you.

I have been seeing a few posts asking about Coccidiosis. I have only had to treat my chickens once back in 2015.

I was just out in the coop doing an evening poo scoop and noticed a poop with light pink / pale pink. That puts me on RED ALERT I know it was one of the new chicks, but because I dont know who did it I will be keeping a very close eye one them and watch /look very closely at the mornings poop.
I may even change out the water in the morning and treat all the chickens with CORID for 5 days, then follow up with Rooster Booster.

Since then, 2015, there are links to very good info. put up by @casportpony
