I'm not clear on this. I've been reading that fenbendazole, albendazole, and others in the same class have an ovicidal effect, but I'm not sure what that really means.
If you you either drug for just one day you are supposed to repeat in 10 days, but I cannot find any place that says to repeat...
I have never seen any properly documented info on withdrawal times for egg consumption, just what people on BYC say, but I have no idea where they got that info or if they extrapolated it from meat withdrawal time for goats and/or cows.

It would be 1 ml three days in row for a bird that weighed 5kg (11 pounds).
Here are some number that I did for someone else:
EE hens - 2.5kg - 0.5ml fenbendazole 10%
Barred Rock pullet - 2.3-2.7kg - 0.46ml to 0.54ml fenbendazole 10%
Barred Rock hen - 3-3.4kg - 0.6ml to 0.68ml to...
The dose and frequency would be the same as the liquid. For example, if you normally give 1ml of the liquid three days in a row, you would do the same with the paste. 1 ml of liquid = 1 ml of paste, they both have 100 mg of medicine in them.
There are 25 1ml doses in a 25 gram tube of paste -...
Safeguard for Goats, Safeguard for Cattle, they are exactly the same thing, just differeent sized bottles. Both can be used on any bird, mammal or reptile, one just needs to know the proper mg/kg.
The liquid pictured (1 liter bottle, same as the 125ml bottle for goats) can be mixed in water, but it might settle and I'm not sure about the paste (not pictured).
That's exactly the sort of comment I'm looking for, and I was planning on using those pictures and the article! I think that is a great article, but I do have one small issue with it... It mentions using a 3cc/ml syringe, but shows them using a 1cc/ml syringe. Just for grins, I tried using the...

Do not attempt if you cannot safely and gently carry and restrain your bird.
Do not attempt if bird's crop is full of water as aspiration can occur from handling.
Do not attempt until you know the difference between the oesophagus and the trachea.
