- Let's talk about worms. (Yes, we have to.) Going off of extensive research and experience, RSM is here to tell you everything from external and internal parasites, to preventative measures, to how to treat a parasite problem. As always, real simple information to help those with backyard flocks! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Also, be very liberal with the diatom powder in feed, on ground, in coop. It absolutely will not harm your chickens but it shreds worms.
I am going to put the eggs in my garden under dirt😊
Suggestion: take a small prescription bottle, pour some ivermectine, then sell what's left (most of the bottle). Might get your whole twenty back and even have some in reserve.
I wonder if I'd even be able to get IT now 🤔 I'll have to check.
Thank you for being so thorough. Very excellent, multi-faceted information. Appreciate your help and great care you give your flock. Blessings to you and your family.
Happy to help! Thanks for being here. ❤️
Thank You so much Sara, your information and experience is been very helpful to me 🍃💛🍃
You’re so welcome honey! How are you doing???
Thank you
Thank you. I'm dealing with this now and like you say, I'm frantically researching. I learned a lot by searching out images of worms and worm eggs or segments in their poop. At first I thought gapeworm but now I'm seeing little segments of dark brown the shape of rice so leaning towards tapeworm or roundworm which is treated by a different "off label" medicine for goats. Would you be able to share the chicken group that has been most helpful. I'm in N. Texas smallish town and no Avian vet near. Thanks again. Great information and very clear information.
Hi! I’d look up backyard chickens, there are multiple forums that are great. I’m not on any currently but I feel like there’s also a forum called the barnyard. The San Antonio area group in Facebook is great too! ✌🏻❤️🐓
Excellent info.. thanks!
Great video! Good ideas on the spices! I haven't had any problems with worms...(fingers crossed) I use the DE a lot. But we're suppose to get rain, freezing rain & snow tonight & tomorrow...ugh....I like the snow for a short bit, but definitely not the ice...ugh! So I'm not using any DE right now. Just ACV, powdered garlic, kelp, probiotics, electro lights (I rotate) (they don't like raw garlic...🙄 picky chickens)
A great video and thanks for telling us about it. My hen had gape worm and I didn’t know what to do about it and she died so I half to dose all my back yard hens 8 to be exact before they all suffer 👍
Oh thank you for your kind words. I’m so sorry about your hen ❤️ I know I feel so much guilt for losing a few girls before I knew better. But now we know and we can go and do better for our flock. ✌🏼❤️🐓
Sara, thank you for this video. I had a sick chicken who I was trying to diagnose, decided it might be worms, and I spent HOURS trying to sift through all the information online to (1) figure out how to treat her and (2) find a store near me that sold treatments. The information online was confusing and overwhelming, so I appreciate you sharing your research and findings. I ended up using a product called WRMClear and she started improving a little bit over two days, but I lost her to a predator! (I had to go out of town for 1 day and had a friend come close the coop door that night. I came home the next morning and she was missing! I think she was too weak to go up the ladder and must have stayed in the run that night and my helper didn't notice she wasn't in the coop when she closed up. So now I'm wondering about something. I only noticed the symptoms in the one chicken (and didn't see worms in any poop) yet everywhere I've read it says that if one chicken has worms they all probably do. Now that my sick chicken is gone should I give everybody the ivermectin just to be sure, or could I wait to see if I notice any worms in poop or any sickly behavior in the other girls? I wouldn't want to medicate them unnecessarily. Thank you.
Hi! I’m so sorry for your loss, I’m proud of you for all the love and care you did for her. I agree that in this case you believe you had a confirmed case of worms so I would treat everyone. If you use the ivermectin make sure you set a reminder to repeat the dose when it says so that you catch all of the worms and all of the lifecycles. You can do this preventatively up to once every six months if you feel it is necessary or you could only do it as you see more confirmed cases. I hope this helps ❤️
@@realsimplemama what did you decide to do about the eggs you collected while the chickens were on the ivermectin?
Hey! We ate em 😄😄😄 I wouldn’t sell to others but we worm maaaaybe twice a year (it’s almost always been less than that) and we don’t live on farmland or anything. Yes there is a risk but to me it was so negligible that I didn’t lose sleep over it.

Thank you so much for replying! My daughter and I love your videos. She found you first and asked me to watch some with her and now I'm hooked. You are our favorite chicken person on RUclips. We are first time chicken owners and need as mu h help as we can get!
You may want to buy more ivermax before June 1 bc they are taking antibiotics and things like ivermectin off of shelves as of June 1 and you won't be able to get them unless see a vet first
It's because of chickens, I have seriously thought about becoming a poultry veterinarian. Hubby is a smart eater who wants his heat.
Oh that would be fascinating! And I know we could use more in our area. Luckily I’ve found a vet who will see chickens too.
Hi Sara!
What is the name of the chicken chapter you are a part of, here in San Antonio?
I tried to look online but didn’t see a website, only Facebook options. I don’t have any other social media, so I wouldn’t be able to benefit from that option.
Thank you! And thanks for putting out such great chicken content. I rely on you, first, before I get more info from other content providers.
God bless you and your family, and all those lovely ladies.
Hey! I hate Facebook but those are the only chicken chapters I’m in - San Antonio backyard chickens, and the SA learning guide. ✌🏼❤️🐓
Great info
Thank you!
Appreciated your vid.
Hi Sara, Just turned a year yesterday of being a new chicken mama.I have watched several of your videos.
I have dealt with sour crop that kept coming back to my "Head Chicken" Loretta. She is a Blue Orpington. I just recently found out my girls all have worms. They have hairworms and roundworms.
My flock consists of 2 Barred Rock, 6 orpingtons, 2 bannies (Bantam) and one cockerel. My question is;
I only gave my big girls 3 drops of ivermectin, Bantam 2 drops and the roo and my Buff orpington 2 (they are youngin'.) That was last night. Apparently per your dosage, They should have received more. Can I give them more today? My orpingtons are big but skinny now because of weight loss due to my ignorance of not checking for worms sooner. They are all doing ok but my spangled Orpington is pretty weak. I don't want to loose my babies. It was lack of knowledge not neglect. I am on every chicken board I can find to further my education of chickens.
Please let me know! I am really worried now that I didn't give them enough and they might die
Hey hun! Don’t worry. Yes I would give the rest of the dose today. And remember that you have to dose them again in two weeks (to kill any worms that might just be eggs right now) - when you do that second dose make sure it’s big enough all at once. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this! Email me if you need more help - theMama@realsimplemama.com and happy chicken tending anniversary! You’re doing great and it’s all gonna be ok. ✌🏼❤️🐓
dont ever use medicated feed on geese
Is there something to spray on the poop with the worms in it that’ll kill them and the eggs too?
Hi! I’m sure there probably is but I had actually never thought of that and have no idea! ✌🏻❤️🐓
what dewormer med worked for you. please name it and spell it out. :)
Hi! Any variation of Ivermectin. Mine was Ivermax. Thanks for helping me clarify!
Oh no momma! I too have had worms, ewe are you on Facebook, check out backyard chickens. I added vinager to the plastic containers of water. I tried the DE and it didn't help. I don't think 🤔
Hey! Yeah I am in the local BYC group and they’re amazingly helpful. I am doing the ACV and DE as well as pumpkins and garlic and spices, and of course the ivermectin. Fingers crossed!
If u don't want 2 eat the eggs bury them in ur garden
Talk less and get to the point.... Seriously, this doesn’t have to be a full lecture.
Then go make a better one on your own channel.
That was very rude to talk to Sara that way. She is such a kind helpful lady. Please try to be kind in return!
Hi Arturo. Sometimes I feel that way when I watch RUclips video - I’m here for the lesson; just get to it.
BUT, if you have seen any of her other videos, she is very respectful of our time and puts out quick, 5 minute videos, most of the time. This topic, however, requires more time and some of us really appreciate her efforts.
God bless you and have a wonderful life.
She is Great, learned a lot from her.
