Need help with dosage for worming.

Hi All,

 

I am worming my girls for the first time this weekend.

I have safe-guard wormer and I was wondering

how much to give each chicken?

 

I have a syringe that is measured from 0.5 - 3 mL(cc).

Using this syringe how much do I need to give each of

my ladies.

 

I have Buff Orphingtons who are about 10 months old.

 

Any guidance would be great.

 

Also, do I need to dilute the wormer or can I use it right out of the bottle?

 

Thanks in Advance,

Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?

Use it right out of the bottle (shake it well.) For safeguard liquid goat wormer, administer orally. Dosage is 1cc for giants, 3/4cc for large fowl, 1/2cc for standards, 1/4cc for smaller birds. Redose again in 10 days. There's a recommended 24 day withdrawal period start to finish.

OK, Thanks you so much dawg53. I am assuming that my Buff Orphington's are Standard size Vs. Large

Fowl, is that correct? I just want to make sure that I give them the right amount.

 

Thanks again,

You can give her 3/4cc if you wish, it wont hurt her. (Safe)guard is a very safe wormer.
