Can I be annoying and ask how one might measure treating 8 week old chicks with Equimax as well?
I have 20 birds 8 weeks old, and they live in a separate coop/run alongside my bigger birds’ coop/run.
I did not treat them with Equimax like my larger flock because all their poop has been normal and their living space not shared (I did treat with Endocox in water in case).
Today I noticed something that looked like possible tapeworm shape in several pieces of stool while cleaning. Nothing moving around, but the longer tape worm like shapes covered in sand. My coops and runs are all sand.
Assuming I should treat them to be safe, but not sure how to go about treating a bird that might weigh 1.5lbs with something at 0.03 per lb and 1ml syringes. I mean…I can generally fill between the tiny lines well enough, but do you think I have to worry about overdosing??
Help please! And thank you!!
You have a bit of wiggle room on the dosing, so if you feel you need to treat them, then go ahead.One more thing…have you heard of Wormer Deluxe Powder from Jedd’s bird products? Might be easier to treat 20 young birds with this in water than using the paste and weighing….but have not found reviews about it being effective.
I have not seen that Wormer Deluxe or missed it on Jedds, so! Let's see what @dawg53 thinks.
