Perfect! I just bought the Safeguard! You've been so helpful! Thank you! 🙏 I hope you have a Wonderful Christmas and New Year!

Nice! Thanks!

Thank you! I really appreciate the good breakdown! I'm wondering if it might be easier to just put the dose in a piece of bread or something and dose each chicken that way? Versus squirting it in their mouths. Also, is there no egg withdrawal for the 2 doses at 10 days apart, versus egg...

Thank you, I really appreciate the suggestion!

Thank you, I appreciate the suggestions and the well wishes!

Thank you so much coach723, that was all great explanations! I have so much to work with! I really appreciate all your knowledge and help! You're awesome!

I just read in another thread: Fenbendazole is very safe to give to birds; studies have shown that a dosage up to 100 times the recommended dosage may have no side effects. However, ivermectin can be toxic to birds if the recommended dosage is exceeded. (Unlike with mammals where high dosages...

Thank you. May I ask, if Safeguard is so safe, why do I need the dose to be so specific? I understand under dosing would cause resistant parasites and also may not kill the parasites they have, but it seems odd to me that I would need to be so specific down to the ounce. I have 72 chickens (and...

Ok, my smallest d'uccle(s) are probably under a pound. Would I give them a .25 ml dose? And what about a chicken that is 2.6 lbs? Or 4.5 lbs?

Thank you, that was very descriptive. How many ml per bird with the Safeguard? I have from 1 lb chickens to 4.5 lb roosters.

I was using about 1 drop per pound. If the chicken was say, about 2.5 lbs, I'd use 2-3 drops depending on if they felt heavier or lighter than the 2.5 lbs. If they felt like 2.5 or higher I went with 3 drops. Before dosing them, I took several chickens and roosters out and weighed them while...

It's Durvet topical solution Pour-On for Cattle 5mg ivermectin per ml

Thank you! (I couldn't get a picture of the worms themselves, only the poop that had them in it. It was yellow and foamy.)

Thank you!

Did you see the other thread? I posted a bunch of poo pictures there? I'm not sure how to link that thread here. It's under "Using Safeguard de-wormer for chickens, I need help"

I only have Corid and Ivermectin on hand. I don't have any Safeguard at the moment. I'm trying to save some $, as well as the fact that I'm treating 72 chickens. Ivermectin was pretty easy to dose that many, and the Corid goes in the water. It's scary to me to put liquid in their mouths, and...

Hi! Thanks for your reply! Ok, that's what I thought, but then I got confused again. I just wrote to Eggcessive explaining why, if you don't mind scrolling up to read it.

Thank you for your reply! Ok, I had decided not to give Corid since I believed it wasn't the issue. But then in other thread conversations someone mentioned treating them with Corid anyway for the reasons that: I've moved onto a new property, I have a bunch of odd poos (I just posted a bunch of...

Or could I treat with ivermectin and Corid and skip the safeguard altogether? And if I did, could I use them at the same time?
