Yes. De worming chickens can begin at 6 weeks old when necessary. A preventative treatment program can help you keep worms from becoming a problem and can be done either with organic or chemical treatments. Diatomaceous Earth is often used for both the control of external parasites, and as a wormer when using food grade DE. Check with your local feed supply store for other feed and water additives. Always follow the instructions on the product package and never eat the eggs from a treated chicken until the treatment has been discontinued for 5 to 7 days.
