@KsKingBee, you do fecals on your chicks, what's the youngest you have found worms in?
Worming with Valbazen
- Thread starter CityChicker
- Start date
I would wait.
Six to eight weeks in a chick raised in a pen of breeders by a broody peahen. I let the peahens brood the last eggs of the season so most of my breeder pens have chicks growing up in them. I keep an eye on the condition of the chicks and will do a Valbazen or Sulfadimethoxine treatment in the water when I feel they need it. It can be difficult finding good chick sized poo samples for fecals but when I do I run them.
So Dr. Poo has spoken... Chicks as young as 6-8 weeks can have worms.
When in doubt, have your vet do a fecal float test.
