Changes in your hens deserve a closer look
Fewer eggs? Messy droppings? A hen losing weight?
Worms are one possible cause. Other problems can look the same. A vet can use a fecal test to help check.

Thinking of a feed supplement? Ask this first.What matters to fellow hen keepers
Putting a worm supplement in their feed? Will your hens eat it?
The grain may be gone. The powder may still be there.
Deworm & Defend is a liquid you mix into drinking water. Here is how that changes the routine.

Will it end up under the grain?
“falls to the bottom of the feeder”
Sesmill · Chewy · August 12, 2026
The RootKind approach
Mix Deworm & Defend into clean drinking water. Keep their usual food. There is no powder in the feed for them to leave behind.

Worried about strong-smelling powders?
“So strong I couldn't breathe.”
Cinda · Chewy · October 17, 2026
The RootKind approach
Measure the liquid. Add it to the water as directed. You do not need to scoop dry supplement powder into their food. Check that your hens keep drinking.

Did the hen you are worried about get any?
“The chickens picked through and scattered the feed everywhere.”
Reddit contributor · r/BackYardChickens · March 24, 2025
The RootKind approach
Putting the supplement in water avoids feed sorting. But hens drink different amounts. Watch each bird and follow the label.

Am I paying for what gets thrown away?
“I prefer to be frugal”
Reddit contributor · r/chickens · May 11, 2026
The RootKind approach
Throw away half of a $30 supplement, and one full container’s worth consumed would cost $60. This is an example. Our liquid keeps supplement powder out of the feed.

What am I actually giving them?
“mixes into the water easily without settling to the bottom”
Reddit contributor · r/BackYardChickens · August 28, 2022
The RootKind approach
Plant enzymes are the first part of Deworm & Defend. Gut and immune nutrition is the second. One liquid brings both ingredient roles together.

Why Walter changed his hens’ routine
Why did Walter switch his hens to Deworm & Defend?
Walter had mixed a poultry powder into his hens’ feed. Some hens ate the grain and left the powder.
The grain was gone. The supplement was still there.
RootKind Deworm & Defend goes into drinking water. Walter kept their usual feed and mixed the liquid as directed.
The first change he noticed was simple: no supplement powder left beneath the grain. He still watched his hens closely.
Read how Walter used Deworm & DefendWhat is inside Deworm & Defend?
What does the two-part ingredient idea mean?
First: plant enzymes. Second: gut and immune nutrition. Here is the job behind each ingredient.
Part 1: plant enzymes
Papain comes from papaya. Bromelain comes from pineapple. Scientists have tested these enzymes on some worms in the lab.
Part 2: nutrition for the hen
FOS feeds some gut bacteria. Yeast beta-glucans and vitamin E add gut and defense nutrition.
01 / Plant enzyme
Papaya · Papain
Papain cuts proteins. Lab studies show it can damage the outer surface of some worms.
02 / Plant enzyme
Pineapple · Bromelain
Bromelain is an enzyme from pineapple. It is part of the same plant-enzyme research approach.
03 / Defense nutrition
Yeast beta-glucans
Yeast beta-glucans have been studied in chickens for their effects on some immune responses. They add defense nutrition.
04 / Gut nutrition
FOS prebiotic fibers
FOS is a prebiotic fiber. Some helpful gut bacteria can use it as food.
05 / Antioxidant nutrition
Vitamin E
Vitamin E adds antioxidant nutrition. It belongs alongside your hens’ normal, balanced feed.
Explore the ingredient research
Ingredient studies are not a trial proving that this finished liquid treats worms in hens. A vet can help choose treatment for a diagnosed infection.

Quick questions. Clear answers.
What Deworm & Defend is, how to use it and what your order includes.
What does “2 in 1” mean?
Deworm & Defend combines two ingredient roles. Papaya and pineapple provide plant enzymes. FOS, yeast beta-glucans and vitamin E add gut and immune nutrition.
Why mix Deworm & Defend into water?
You keep their usual food. There is no loose supplement powder in the grain for hens to pick around. Hens still drink different amounts, so watch their intake and follow the label.
Can it replace a prescribed worm medicine?
No finished-product treatment trial has been supplied for this formula. If worms are found, ask your vet about the right treatment. A supplement and a prescribed medicine are not the same.
