Overheard a guy at the feed store say he doesn't worm his flock at all...

He said 'let nature sort it out' but I saw his birds and they looked rough. How do you decide on a deworming schedule?

My buddy tried that "natural" approach with his goats last year. Lost two good does before he caved and bought the proper meds. Sometimes you gotta help nature along a little bit.

Yeah, my cousin had a similar thing with her chickens. Went all herbal for mites and ended up with a coop full of bald, miserable birds. Vet bill was way more than the mite spray would've been.
