    I noticed tiny worms in my chickens poop today. I’m preparing to deworm my whole flock and happen to have safeguard goat dewormer on hand. What is the egg withdrawal period? Also, I have silkies as well as standard breed chickens. What’s the dosage for both bantam and standard? I’m aware it’s...

    My chickens have worms!!!

    Hi everyone! One or all of my chickens have worms. I don’t know who left the droppings, but I saw a dropping that was half regular/half diarrhea or cecal and I saw little worms inside the dropping. They were very thin, but were clearly moving. I know this happens and some people even take...

    My name is Andy and I have laying 14 laying hens! Can anyone tell me the dosing of ivermectin for my chickens? I have the liquid that says 5mg ivermectin per mL. How much do I put on my chickens topically for deworming?

    Another dewormer thread specifically safeguard for cattle

    I spent a long long time researching. Last night and as most people say, there is a lot of conflicting info. One saying 3cc per gallon of water of safeguard cattle dewormer.

    When to start deworming?

    Hello, chicken friends! How do you handle deworming for your chickens? Do you do it on a schedule or only once you notice a shift in behavior or worms in their feces? We don't live in a particularly wet climate, and it gets hot in the summertime. We live on clay soil, which I've read can...
