Can I treat my chickens for worms naturally?
There are many good natural preventatives for worming your chickens from Verm-X to Phytopet and even some feed will have these in already, you can use garlic cloves in their water as garlic is a natural worm preventative, however, we still recommend a good medicated worming treatment once every 4 months to be sure. It is not always easy to tell if your hens have worms and although natural preventatives can work well, they are not 100%
guaranteed to stop an infestation. We recommend Flubenvet as being the best medicated worming powder you can buy online.
