HELP Check My Math!: safeguard aquasol dosage for small flock

[buffy-the-eggpile-layer]

You dont have worry about resistance, it takes years. I've been using Valbazen for years.
Eggcessive is correct. Safeguard and Valbazen are in the same class of drugs.
You'd have to use a different class of drugs if you're super worried about resistance: Levamisole or Ivermectin come to mind and are a different classes. However, good luck finding Levamisole in stock anywhere. I dont use Ivermectin no more due to resistance in certain areas of the U.S.
Poultry mites are showing resistance to Ivermectin as well.
Stick with the Benzimidazoles.

Thanks! So safeguard has been in their water all day... would it be safe, then, to dose valbazen tomorrow? Or should I finish out the safeguard course then use valbazen in 10 days

It ‘s really up to you. If you want to just treat for roundworms, finish your 5 day course of Aquasol, since it has no egg withdrawal time. If no one or few are laying, you could go ahead and use the Valbazen. It has a 14 day egg withdrawal time.
