Does anyone use Worminator?

I see Worminator for sale as a wormer for chickens. It's actually Pyrantel Paomate, but the dosage is great because it's only 2 drops for a full size chicken. Twin Cities Poultry Supply sells it.

Do you have a better recommendation for a wormer which kills all but tapeworms?
Are you by chance indicating that Twin City /or whatever that name is/ is merely a backyard gamefowl staker, and that one should question whether the product consists of multiple ingredients?

Fenbendazole, Flubendazole, Oxfendazole, Albendazole are all examples of benzamidazole classes of anthelmintics which are very safe and effective against most intestinal worms. Albendazole is effective against tapes and all other worms, and Praziquantel is highly effective against tapeworms. I am not indicating that Twin City is run by cockers. What I am saying is that they, like many of the game fowl supply places regularly sell dewormers which have no listed ingredients on the label, or origin of production, contact information, etc. People are suspicious of this and they should be.

What really irritated me was he told me that large fowl got two drops and that it didn't matter how big they were. Makes no sense, just think about it... how big are geese, peacocks and large ducks compared to a 6 pound laying hen? A large goose can weigh 22 pounds, right? That's almost 4x the weight of a large laying hen, and all drugs that are given orally are supposed to be given by weight.

I know it works .... I saw the worms on the ground ..... Most all wormers are not approved for chickens.
If you want to use it .... If not then don't ... I'm not discussing it any further .... Thanks

There must be someone that uses it.

I saw that Paomate in Panacur paste for horses. That would be nice to have it for chickens in the right dosage.

Just looked at the product. Sounds great but it doesn't say what's in it. Do you know?

You have to look up "Combantrin" . They use the same thing on people and children with worms. Sounds good to me , I want to know who else is using it

I just placed an order of Fowl Pox vaccine from Twin Cities Poultry. Spoke with the owner Victor Hakes about the process as I have never vaccinated my birds myself. He was very helpfull. Anyway I just went back and looked at his website . Saw the "Worminator" wormer you speak of. Any new info about it? Nice there is little withdrawl.
