Westgate Poultry Worm Count Kit – Postal Worm Egg Count for Chickens

Westgate Poultry Worm Count Kit – Postal Worm Egg Count for Chickens and Domestic Poultry

A worm count tells you whether your birds actually need treating, rather than worming the whole flock on the calendar and hoping. You collect a small droppings sample, post it off in the packaging supplied, and the laboratory examines it and reports the worm egg count back to you.

For backyard keepers this is the sensible first step before reaching for any treatment. It avoids unnecessary dosing, gives you a baseline to compare against later in the year, and tells you whether a course you have already given has actually worked.
