Use the Valbazen, it will do the job.

14 days after the last dosing.has that got a withholding period for eggs
thanks
If you're not dealing with tapeworms, stop dosing them now and reworm them in 10 days (only once.)Dawg53 - I read the dosage amount for Valbazen, but I haven't found anywhere if it's just a one-time dose, or if it's repeated for so many consecutive days. Is it to be repeated in 10 days? I had read directions somewhere that it is to be given for 5 consecutive days, then not repeated until three months later. I'm about to give a third day. Is this right or not?
Safeguard is a very good wormer, I use it in rotation with valbazen. No need to toss eggs for a month, 14 days after the last worming should be good enough.I used safeguard and the dosage I used was a 1/2 cc for an average sized hen. I was to scared to put it in with a syringe so I took a tiny, tiny square of bread and soaked it with a dose and each one gobbled it up! I made sure to separate them and make sure no one got double dosed. Then I did it one more time 10 days later and I haven't seen anymore worms. I had found a couple of round worms in their poo, I didn't have a terrible infestation to begin with. But haven't seen anything more since I did it. I'm also throwing away the eggs for a month to be safe but I don't even think you need to go that long.
I've never seen a withdrawal period for permethrin. Sevin dust has a 7 day withdrawal period. We've used it for years in vegetable gardens and I've used it on my chickens and have eaten eggs after using it...still alive and typing.Thank you! You're the guy that gave me advice when I first asked about worming anyways!! My chickens are doing good. Haven't seen a worm after my original sighting!!
Next we're going to dust them. The only thing we could find is prozap, garden and poultry dust. it has 0.25 permethrin in it.
I'm trying to figure out the best way of applying it. Also, how often and how long do i toss eggs after dusting?
Instead of tossing the eggs, could we give them to a broody hen or would that be a stupid thing to do?
