Some worms can actually pass in to your eggs. You will not see all worms unless they are round worms which look like spaghetti and there are the segments the tapeworm drops off, you will see that look like rice moving out of the poop so they can be eaten by another host. Everyone has their own opinions but I think everyone should google all of the internal parasites a chicken can pick up to help you make your decision. I get a dozen of eggs a day, so when I worm, I'm ok knowing I have a few eggs in reserve and most importantly my chickens are healthy. And pumpkin and cayenne do not work. I tried all of that stuff. My hens still ended up with worms. They get the parasites from the insects they eat. Good luck!
if they aren't laying then you have nothing to withdrawal from. Wazine is only for Roundworms so you'll need to follow up with another one to kill all the types of parasites. Wazine does not work. The only wormers that do are off label meaning they are made for swine, goats and cows. Those would be Safeguard for goats and Valbazen. If you enter those in the BYC search bar, you'll find all the info you need on them. But beware don't tell the feed store you these for chickens, they aren't supposed to sell them off label. And everything says it's not for laying hens because the FDA doesn't want to spend the money for backyard flocks. I hope this helps.
I am going through the same thing! Where did you find it?Don't mean to open another can of worms here...(pun intended!) but for those of you who don't worm. Do you medicate at all? Like what about if one of your chickens gets coccidiosis? I just bought Sulmet today because of my chickens "may" be showing signs of this and I just want to have it on hand because this seems to be one of the most prevalent chicken ailments even under the best care and conditions.
