Honestly, we just treat things as they come up, which to be honest is rarely. When we first got chooks I was worming them on a schedule but I've come to the opinion that giving my animals stuff they don't need is normally not necessary. I think the best 'preventative medicine' is a good varied diet, and enough space in the coop that air circulates well. I also think it is valuable to keep an eye on them so you notice any changes in behaviour that might be an indicator of sickness.
