I see some people have recommended Levamisole for worming. I've seen they have a soluble drench powder. But I can't find it anywhere. There's some for livestock , cattle, sheep, hogs. But nothing for chickens. Any suggestions?
Didn't think about that. Right now I have shavings in his pen and he does scratch around at times, but probably not the best for building up resistances. He's loose all day and really only goes in his crate at night to sleep. The door is always open, so he comes and goes as he pleases...
