They are most often discovered while cleaning the coop or removing the poop from the previous night’s roost. The worms that infect the digestive tract of chickens are large roundworms. Knowing that worms are a given in a backyard flock that lives the good life, how it is determined that a flock has worms? Look at deworming your flock as a badge of honor, a testament to the freedom and contact with the outside world that many chickens are denied. While worms in your flock may be a scary prospect to face, take heart, the fact that your flock needs routine deworming means your ladies are living the good life. Because most backyard chicken flocks have access to green grass, sunshine, fresh air, and bugs, they will most likely pick up worms. Worms are mostly associated with dogs, such as the dreaded heartworm, but chickens can also contract worms as well.
Chickens, if allowed to free range, will spend most of the “dog days of summer” dining on, bugs, weeds, grass, and other delectables they find scurrying about. As the Autumnal Equinix approaches the long days of summer finally retreating, this is a perfect time to consider worming your flock.
