I wouldn’t use that. I know that diatomaceous earth is said to work for mites, but I think that’s a myth. I’m not totally sure about for worms, but diatomaceous earth is also a respiratory irritant for chickens. :)

Just saw this. I used Valbazen dewormer, it is very gentle which I like. It is on the pricier side for my flock, but I can use it in a few years as well. This is the one I bought, which is technically for goats but can also be used for poultry. There might be smaller bottles somewhere, but...

Yes, we did. It was pretty easy, I held the chicken while she put the medicine in. We weighed each chicken and then gave them the appropriate amount of medicine. Doing it individually makes sure that they each get the dose. Also, it’s best to have two people. One holding the chicken, the...

Thank you! I ended up remembering. I’ll make sure to put it on my calendar the next time I have to deworm them. :)

Oh! And a few of the chickens are only ten weeks old. Should we give them the same amount, or do what Eggcessive said and give them 0.08 ml a pound, weighing each of the 10 week olds?

Thanks! Luckily Starburst can help me hold the chickens (or the other way around) so you give the Valbazen one day only, then give again in ten days? Luckily we have experience giving medicine, having had a few chickens that needed oral liquid medicine... thanks again for all your help!

We were able to get Valbazen. Though it is listed for sheep and goats... can we still use it for chickens? And if so, what’s the dosage? Do you have to toss the eggs? (We don’t mind, but just want to check) (oh, also I’m Starburst’s twin) Thanks!

Thank you! We will look into that, and use what they have at the local store... hopefully they have one of those two. We will also clean the poop off of them. How do you give the worming medicine? Thanks again!
