Worming a Large Mixed Flock Routine or Only When Needed?

[FeatheredTraveler]

Since your birds aren't acting sick, you could do a fecal float test before worming. That way, you know exactly what you're dealing with.

Ducks do drink a lot more than chickens, so if you use a water-based dewormer, limit access to only medicated water for a few hours.

I have a large mixed flock consisting of chickens, ducks, geese, and two turkeys. Im trying to figure out the best approach for worming. Do you worm your flock regularly as a preventative measure, or do you only treat when you see symptoms?

Right now, I dont see any obvious signs of illnesseveryone is acting normalbut I do notice the occasional runny, yellow, or slightly bloody poop mixed in with regular droppings. I know that can sometimes be normal, but it makes me wonder if a parasite load could be building up.

For those who do worm regularly, how do you go about treating a mixed flock? I know chickens can get dosed through water or feed, but Im particularly concerned about the duckswould they end up drinking too much if I use a water-based dewormer? Whats the safest and most effective method for a mixed group like mine?

If you free-range, your birds are more likely to pick up parasites. Keeping their environment clean and rotating their space can help reduce reinfection.
