Thank you for the tips! I'll check on the case load and if light- I'll go the garlic way. I will have to come up with making a chute (have done something similar for a donkey who wouldn't cooperate!). Seems like the most efficient method that won't stress them out so badly. What kinds of...

Thank you both. They seem fine and are eating and drinking normally... it's hard for me to think they have hook worms in them though, and I'm not doing anything to help. I understand about the dangers of building resistance, also and prefer not to medicate unless necessary. Guess I should...
