De-worming chickens.

Glenda Heywod
Yes as I was giving worming advisofmyfried Nathalie Ross ofTexas gave back in 0 and I have given many times.

From BYC
1 oz Safeguard or Panacur per 15-20 lb feed

Dissolve the fenbendazole product in one cup of water. Mix this solution well into the feed and give to the birds as their only feed source for one day. When completely consumed, untreated feed can be given. Be sure that the commercial medication contains 10% fenbendazole.

Levamisole: Kills capillary worms, cecal worms, roundworms (adults).

IVERMECTIN:

Personally
, I use pour-on ivermectin for cattle. It's a blue solution. 250ml generic costs about $14 and will last you ages! It's best to have a helper, but can be done on your own with a table. You will want to fill a syringe with a needle with a little ivomec. I use a 3cc syringe and 25g needle. You will NOT inject it - I use the needle to make one drop at a time of a uniform sized drop. (I'm not able to do that with a regular dropper while holding a chicken.) I hold the syringe pointing towards its side, not down at the bird, in case she jumps so I don't poke her.

I find a spot on the bird, about 1/2" wide, that has no feathering and no down. The best area is low on the back of the neck, or between the shoulders. Once I find that spot, I dispense 1 to 8 drops on the skin. If you get it on the down, it absorbs and you don't know whether or not the bird will get it - so make sure it's on the skin.

The dosage is as follows:

1 drop for a small or OEGB sized bantam.
2 drops for a large OEGB, small but not "micro" bantam.
3 drops for a regular bantam hen.
4 drops for an average hen or smaller large fowl rooster.
5 drops for the average large fowl
6 drops for a larger large fowl
7 drops for giant breed

Here's a post on ivermectin that explains using injectable, etc:

KNOW THE ENEMY

The first line of defense against parasites is to understand the enemies
that threaten your pet’s health. The 4 major parasites seen in dogs in North America include: roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms and whipworms. While symptoms vary depending upon the specific parasite, health problems can range from diarrhea, vomiting, anemia, and dehydration to itching, stunted growth, rough coats, weight loss, and even death in extreme cases.

ROUNDWORMS

Roundworms are the most common intestinal parasites found in dogs – and especially in young puppies, that are often infected at birth, or soon thereafter.

hook21.jpg

HOOKWORMS

Also common in North America, multiple infestation sources, consumes dog’s blood causing anemia and other symptoms.

tape.jpg

TAENIA TAPEWORMS

More common in outdoor dogs since source is infected rabbits or rodents, hard to diagnose.

whipd-2.jpg

WHIPWORMS

Growing concern in recent years, can cause mucoid diarrhea.

Fiea and tick treatments help prevent infections from the parasites they carry. But Taenia pisiformis Tapeworm is carried by rabbits and rodents, the prey of many outdoor dogs.
ASSESS THE RISK

THE MORE HE’S OUTSIDE, THE GREATER HIS RISK OF INFECTION
Sources of parasite infections are more likely to be found outdoors. While they vary depending upon the specific parasite, the most common sources include: soil, feces, rabbits and rodents; hookworms can even enter through the pads of the feet. Indoor dogs are at a lower risk for parasite infections.

I was given this infomation for worming chickens so thought I would look up the infomation
As I have posted here.
I am interested in the information given on Cattle;
We all know that body building flesh weight gain is what cattle are for.
here is what it said:
IE: WORMS
Suppress Appetite, Reduce Daily Gain

Reduced feed intake is the largest single effect of parasites on production. Heavy internal parasite infestations can limit intake of feeds and forages by cattle. The limiting or depression of intake subsequently depresses the intake of nutrients including protein, energy, minerals and vitamins. All are critical to cattle health and well being. In the cow, energy intake is critical to the maintenance of body condition. During periods of internal parasite infestation when intake is depressed, energy intake is also depressed.

Glenda Heywood
So if your chickens either hens or eating broilers etc are wormy they will not eat good and produce good eggs.
So worm the chickens at least once ayear.
As free range chickens will eat spoiled decaded matter and thus pick up worm larva. So keep the chickens healthy

The dog wormer could be used for poultry, but it's far too expensive. A better choice would be liquid Safeguard for Goats, liquid Safeguard for Cattle, liquid Panacur, Panacur paste, or Safeguard Paste.
 
My chickens have recently developed what I call "mud butt". Where their poop is runny and leaves a trail on their down feathers when they poop. I've only had birds for one year. I have been using DE for worming but I noticed my new rooster I've had for 4 months started stretching his neck and shaking his head, laying down in the yard, staggering when he got up. I caught him yesterday and examined him visually and couldn't find anything. He acted normal other than the symptoms I described above even topping hens off normally. I went to feed this morning and he was dead in the run. I researched online and found his symptoms line up with worm I festation. So I went and bought Safe Gaurd pellets and gave with feed today. I'm noticing alot of people using Wazine 17. I was thinking wait 10 days and treat with the Wazine? Any advice would be helpful. Also I've started some of my hens in a seperate coop to lay out and hatch off his fertilized eggs while I still can. In an attempted to hatch off a new rooster. Any reason why I shouldn't hatch chicks while worming.

'Mud butt' can be caused by many things.....worm load can only be determined by a fecal float.
Feeding DE is not going to kill internal parasites.
Cause of death can only be determined by a necrospy.

If you're seeing dirty butts from loose stools, first thing to look at is total diet.

There are so many types of worms, so one really should know what worms their birds have before picking a de-wormer. The best way to check for worms is to take a fresh, steamy pile to a vet and have them do a fecal flotation. Second best would be to send a poop sample to a lab (see link in my signature).

Then Safeguard pellets will treat most worms *if* they eat enough of it several days in a row, but Wazine only treats large round worms.

Some states offer free or low cost necropsies, so you should look into that.
 
I just de-wormed my chickens today with valbazen. Has anyone tried this de-wormer before? I've read it's the best. How long do I need to wait before I eat the eggs again? It sure was annoying having to catch everyone and shove liquid down their throats! I would have rather used one that can go in their water, but I wanted to use the best. My chickens defiantly weren't happy with me today

I’ve used it for years. It is the very best! You don’t have to wait to eat the eggs, either. I like to catch each one up when it’s time to worm. I worm in the spring and fall. When I’ve got a hold of them, I give them a good once over, which most people don’t do. That way, I can check feet, vents, all over. They’ll get over it! You’re being the best keeper!
