Millihelen Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Is it OK for my teenage son to feed garden worms to the chickens? They seem to go down without touching the sides - but will they do any harm? PS - he washes his hands before he does it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgirl73 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 They'll think they're in heaven, not having to dig for them themselves My lot can devour a fair number when 'digging' my garden for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchkin Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I'm not sure but i think they might be more susceptible in getting intestinal worms if they eat too many earth worms. I'm sure someone with more experience will come along soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I think Munchkin is right but if you Flubenvet your hens regularly, this should prevent them getting intestinal worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
