    Indestructible Tapeworms?

    I withdrew eggs for two weeks and I fasted them overnight. I took the food away at about 5:30 pm the night before. I went out to give them meds at about 8-9 am the next day. Then I waited about an hour after that to give them the food back. That way the meds would be the only thing in their...

    Indestructible Tapeworms?

    UPDATE: It’s been 3 weeks since their first dose of Equimax. They had their second dose after 10 days. Not ONE live tapeworm has been seen since the first dose. Hopefully it stays that way! Thank y’all for your help!

    Indestructible Tapeworms?

    All of these eggs have to be tossed. Or do they? If we are in the withdrawal period for equimax, can the shells be used in the veggie garden? Anyone know if the meds make their way into the shells? Wouldn’t want to use them and have the meds seep into the soil, thus making their way into the...

    Indestructible Tapeworms?

    I accidentally posted that before I was done. Whoops. ANYWAYS... I haven’t seen any creepy crawlies in their poop since I gave them equimax. But I keep seeing this. Are these dried up tapeworm pieces or feather shafts? I can’t tell. I know someone said if the tapeworm dies, I’ll see larger...

    Indestructible Tapeworms?

    UPDATE: I gave the chickens Equimax Sunday. It was actually fairly easy. They cant spit it out like they do with Valbazen, because this stuff is a paste.

    Indestructible Tapeworms?

    Ok thank you. And fasting them for 24 hrs before doing this is required? I don’t even know how I’m gonna do that. I mean I can take away their food. But they spill it so they’ll eat that. Then I can’t keep them from foraging for bugs.

    Indestructible Tapeworms?

    So I was able to release my chickens back into their coop today. Thank God for pine pellets! Best invention EVER! Anyways...the Equimax just arrived and I’m so confused. It’s in a syringe marked with lbs. How do I give them .03 mL? If it’s an obvious answer I’m gonna feel really dumb.

    Definitely have worm soup in my coop right now. Perfect way to describe it. I’ll hold onto it for sure. Thank you.

    Indestructible Tapeworms?

    Me too. We shall see after this rain. They either drowned or formed an ant life raft and paddled to dry ground. Could go either way.

    Indestructible Tapeworms?

    Here’s some flood pics. Those are my very sad, wet bantams. Before I put them in the dry pen. So pitiful. Then my back yard while it was still going this morning. Then where the water hits a couple feet outside my coop.

    Indestructible Tapeworms?

    Funny thing is, they’ve been laying like champs in this rain. I haven’t gotten more than 1 egg a day in months. If that. The past two days I’ve gotten 3 each day. Imagine that.

    Indestructible Tapeworms?

    No. Definitely not dry. We are soaked. I’ve spent hours in the rain and flood water today just trying to accommodate the animals. It’s a mess out here.

    Indestructible Tapeworms?

    So based on everything I’ve gathered from y’all’s advice... 1) I maybe should have done 3 days in a row of valbazen instead of 5 days apart? I don’t know how I got that SO wrong from so many different sources. But it explains why it didnt work. And I suppose it’s too late to do it differently...

    Indestructible Tapeworms?

    I’m definitely going with the equimax. And these ants...sweet Jesus are they a pain. I’ve never had so much trouble getting rid of ants. And about the whole tape worm detaching thing...that’s not what it was when I saw like 20 tape segments on top and inside one of the poops is it?
