Hi everyone, my flock has been infected with small threadlike worms that I can see in the fecal waste. I've ordered wazine and valbazen to start treatment. I have silkies and some 8 wk ameracaunas - my question is: should I use the valbazen on the 8wk chicks? Are they too young for strong meds? If they can take valbazen, what would the dosage be?

Thanks for your help.

I administer Valbazen to my birds (most of mine dont have wattles since they are easter egg mixed breeds). I drop it onto a few tiny bread pieces and they eat it up (administered to each bird separate so i know each gets the right dose).

In indianapolis think my white Wyandotte needs Valbazen fast. Tried wazine 17 yesterday. Anyone in Indy have?

What is the withdrawal period on the eggs or meat after treating chickens?

The recommended withdrawal is two weeks.

I got the safeguard liquid for goats at TSC. Agway here also carries it.

I am battling some kind of blood red, two inch worm????? Looks like a baby earthworm but, as baby earthworms are not blood red it is definitely not an earthworm

I lime their run's also and definitely clean the coops of bedding and wash everything AFTER both treatments. (usually the day after)

Thanks guys! I guess I will have to order it online as I haven't seen anything like it here either, fortunately it looks like a big bottle so hopefully it will last a long time!

I don't know why I keep getting round worms, either the meds I am using are ineffective, or they keep re-infecting themselves from the ground... either way it sure is a pain!

I here ya....the worms I have here keep re-infecting mine also, especially in the spring when it's really wet, or when we have tons of rain for 3- 4 days. I'm baffled by it.
If anyone knows what these blood red, 2 inch worms are, I would greatly appreciate knowing!!!

Last year, I never saw the actual worms, but it made them constantly open their mouth's like they were adjusting their crops. This year, I have seen 3 worms, so atleast now know what they look like.

Will DE work ?

 

[masloozinit76]

There is no proof that DE works on worms. Same with ACV and pumpkin.
