Deworming chickens

[nelsontheresa2@tractor]

Did you know if you use wizine or similar products and you were selling chicken eggs or even eating your own eggs it is very dangerous and unhealthy

There is a 17 day withdrawal from eating eggs after a Wazine treatment. They should be thrown out.

I would like to de-worm my "teenage" chickens before they come into lay in September (hopefully).  I usually give my regular girls 1/2 cc for the smaller ones or 3/4 cc for the heftier girls of Valbazen.  Should I drop the dose to 1/4 cc for the "teenagers" (15 weeks old now)?
Thanks!

This is why I worm by weight... No need to guess what the correct dose is, just weight and do a little math. The most effective Valbazen dose is ~0.2 ml (1/5 ml) per 2.2 pounds (1000 grams).

cc = ml
.1 ml = 1/10 ml
.2 ml = 1/5 ml
.25 ml = 1/4 ml
.5 ml = 1/2 ml
.75 ml = 3/4 ml

Dewormed chicken eggs should not be given to any other animal. Incorrect dosing with dewormers (by feeding drugged eggs to dogs) causes parasite resistance. How much of the drug is passed through?. Eventually we will be seeing parasites that don't respond to our best drugs.
Eggs are cheap, just safely discard them. Even throwing them on the manure pile is not a good idea. The drug in the eggs should not be eaten by any animal or leach into the ground. And be careful to wash your hands.
Drug resistant is growing across the board. If it continues, animal owners/ farmers will not be able to freely purchase drugs.
Google Baytril resistance to learn more.

Thanks! I dragged out my scale and weighed the chickens today before dosing.

What about crushed garlic in water? A natural de-wormer? Trying it until my Safe-Guard comes. Then after treating with Safe-Guard, abstain from the eggs for a month???
