Is there an egg withdrawl with it?

I think most people wait 14 days after dosing.

So it doesn't mention chickens, what is the dose for them?

Look for posts by Dawg53, like this one, he's good at off label meds.

The dose is 0.08ml per pound orally, which works out to about 1/2 cc for a six pound chicken. Anything bigger would need more, smaller birds a little less. Give once orally and repeat in 10 days. It's quite safe, so don't worry about giving a little more than they need.

So 14 days after the second dose?

And do you just use a syringe? (no needle of course lol) And sorry for 100 questions

But THANK YOU for your help!

Will this be "easy" to do as far as my flock goes, they won't allow me to handle them much

My mom and I were just talking, she wants to use something else too now since I shared with her the info you gave about the Zyfend. Thinking it's a 3 person job, will have to do it at night, one to hold the bird, one to administer the med and one to hold a flashlight?

What about this? You just mix it in their feed? http://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog...c&utm_campaign=Wormer&utm_term=chicken wormer

How many chickens do you have?

I have mixed the wormer in water and then used the water to wet a one day ration of feed.

But I am not sure how well that worked.......
