I am still a big fan of the "Redneck Chicken Owners guide to healthy
animals". Now I haven't tried this on chickens but on dogs it worked
wonders. By a can of snuff and add a couple small pinches to there
feed. Trust me, anything in there intestines WILL be expelled.
Yeah, make sure they have lots of water to.
I use <Drum Roll Please> Longhorn Snuff. It tastes great if no one
punches you in the back and is relatively low on the nicotine level.
The theory is that tapeworms can't take the Nicotine and makes them
want to exit the area as soon as possible.
