    Help me play Barred Rock: Pullet or Cockerel.

    De-worming Schedule

    De-worming Schedule

    No, I just assumed they would eventually, but we'll get fecal tests done a few times a year instead.

    De-worming Schedule

    I plan to start deworming my chickens at 12-weeks old and every 6 months thereafter as I live in Central FL. I plan to start a pea-sized dose of Safeguard paste and repeat in 10 days for the first time. Six months after treating for the first time I will use Ivermectin injectable given orally...
