    Dog wormer for chickens? specifically piperazine

    I have some D-WORM which is puppie/kitten wormer. The active ingrediant is piperazine. I know I can use piperzine on my chickens but need a dosage. The bottle says equivalent to 4.25 cc per 100 cc. I am not sure how I should dose my chickens. I do have a couple that I highly suspect have...

    My hatchlings...some Barred Rock and some RIR

    Well I did manage to get some eggs to hatch after dh moved my incubator. Only 4 surviving Barred Rock and 3 RIR chicks. I think the new location created to much air current and being that the bator is old and cheap, things just did not work right. So here are my chickies. Care to guess on...
