Worm in a freshly cracked egg?

[windwalkingwolf]

Do they get this from being outside? How would you know if they had it, would you see it in their manure?

Yes, or from intermediary hosts that happen to be carrying worm eggs. The worms won't parasitize or reproduce unless they're in a specific host, but bugs, slugs, mice, can carry them around,
They can have worms and you would never see one...or only the odd dead or dying one in manure...the only way to be sure they don't have worms is to have a fecal float test done or to deworm prophylactically.

I wanted to put a fecal float in the Easter parade but they wouldn't let me.

You should start a petition, Farrier, I would sign it! I know some people who'd be good at building the float, too!

Is there a simple home-remedy deworming method? Something like putting garlic in their feed or bourbon in their water?

Maybe, but in my mind, to be sure use the commercially available. There are old remedies that work, and others that people believe in but are not really effective, no matter how hard the person that told you about it believes in it.
