A couple of weeks ago I had a really good hatch of buff leghorn chicks. They were shipped eggs and the chicks are my first experience with Buff's.

I have a couple of pot belly pigs that I usually worm twice a year.
I was wondering if it is OK to worm pot belly pigs with Valbrazen. I currently worm with a horse paste that the pigs hate the taste of. I would like to try the Valbrazen out on them if it is safe for them.
