    Deworming

    Levamisole was used as a human dewormer for many years and is still used in some countries. I would not be worried to consume it in a residule low level poultry/egg situation.

    Deworming

    I would feel safe after a minimum of 1 week,2 weeks if your paranoid. This is pretty normal for most wormers.

    Can you keep about a dozen silkie bantams together with two midget white turkeys

    You wont know until you put them together.Its a 50/50 chance they will get along. If they have a big run/pen they may tolerate each other and give each other space.If its a small enclosure you may have problems.

    Does my wyandotte have mites?

    Lice eggs are laid at the base of the feathers,not on the end. Your picture is of natural coloring of the feather and not of any parasite.
