    worming chickens

    They have some interesting items as well as the usuals, but there is something about a company that flat out refuses to give proper information regarding medications. I often mix medications, but I know wha drug interactions they have. Some wormers, when given together, are toxic to chickens...

    worming chickens

    Victor is the owner of Twin City. I really wish someone from his company would creat an account and answer our questions about their products and dosing. Their website also says that one metronidazole pill will treat canker and blackhead, lol. -Kathy Edited to add: Their Baytril dosing info is...

    worming chickens

    Michael, Victor was evasive and got very defensive when I asked what it was. He flat out claimed the he didn't know and that they never told anyone what it was. I tried my best to explain that I was the type that liked to worm by weight, and he insisted that any size bantam got one amount and...

    worming chickens

    I will put some pictures together that show how I do it. Your big roosters should probably get 0.8ml to 1ml. -Kathy

    worming chickens

    I talked to Victor and he said very defensively that it was not pyrantel and that they had never told anyone what it was. Definetly got a bad vibe from him... Their website says the egg withdrawal is 24 hours, and I'm pretty sure the withdrawal time for pyrantel is more than that. If it were...

    worming chickens

    A 500ml bottle of Valbazen is the way to go. The 1/2 cc dose for the RSL is perfect, but if your BO is bigger, it will need a little more. A large BO (8 pounds) will need 0.65ml. The most effective dose is 0.8ml per pound. -Kathy

    worming chickens

    Safeguard does kill capillary worms, but you must give it 5 days in a row. No offense, but I would avoid buying a worming product like the worminator. Twin City claims they don't know what the active ingredient is (which I don't believe). Many odd things about them and the products and...

    worming chickens

    You can do it yourself, but if a vet did a fecal float they could recommend a wormer and the proper amount of it. Bang for the buck, Valbazen is probably your best choice. The most effective Valbazen dose is 20mg/kg, which is about 0.2ml per 2.2 pounds. Give once by mouth and repeat in ten days...

    worming chickens

    Your best bet is to have routine fecal floats done and worm according to what they find. When usng Safeguard, one must worm several days in a row to treat gapeworms and capillary worms. Other worms, like cecal worms need more worming medication than plain-ole-roundworms. -Kathy
