The results of study indicated that 52 (24.53%), 34 (16.04%) and 5 (2.35%) of the examined chickens were harbouring one species of nematode (&lt;em&gt;Ascaridia galli&lt;/em&gt;), three species of cestodes (&lt;em&gt;Raillietina echinobothrida, Raillietina tetragona&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Raillietina cesticillus&lt;/em&gt;) and two species of ectoparasites&amp;nbsp;(&lt;em&gt;Menacanthus stramineus&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Menopon&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; gallinae&lt;/em&gt;), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference (p &amp;gt; 0.05) in prevalence infection of cestodes between sex (males and females) and age groups. Similarly, there was no statistically significant difference (p &amp;gt; 0.05) in prevalence of infection with nematode sex (males and females) and age groups. The present study clearly indicated that Fayoumi chickens kept under semi-intensive management system in DZARC poultry farm were exposed to ectoparasites and GI-helminthes. Due attention is required to the control the parasitism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
