Now is a good time to take stock and look at the health of your Backyard Birds. Summer has been and gone (blink and you missed it) and things are settling into the usual autumnal pattern. Chickens, ducks and geese have all spent the summer months feeding away, and so the chances are they have picked up a burden of worms. These worms are a particular risk to free range birds and can be introduced by wild birds. There are two main types of roundworms that affect poultry, intestinal worms in the guts or gape worms in the windpipe and bronchial tubes. Both types of worms lay eggs that pass out in the birds droppings and contaminate the environment, building up over time and re-infecting them and others.
