worming chickens

I'm unsure how to dose my chickens with Avitrol Plus wormer syrup given the dosage rate seems to be applicable for smaller caged birds. My preference is to give in water. Does anyone use Avitrol Plus and how do they work out the dosage rate for chickens? I'm interested in using this product...

Hi all! About to worm my flock for the first time with valbazen and am wondering if administering the 2nd dose after 7 days instead of the recommended 10 is ok, or will it be ineffective to do it that soon? Would it be ok to do a 3rd dose just in case and at what point would I do that if it is...

Me and my family have only started owning chickens this year. I have not wormed any and so far I don't believe any of my chickens have worms. We got are first chickens around 6 months ago now. Should or shouldn't I deworm them as a routine or only when they have them? Also, what are some good...

I noticed that my hens' poo has tapeworms in it :( and was wondering about a few dewormers, which I have researched.... Ivermectin Does it treat/help with tapeworms? Some sources said Ivermectin did not treat tapeworms. Will it affect my few currently molting hens? Safe-guard (Fenbendazole)...

Hi all! I have been on here for an hour looking to find my answer so I apologize if I missed it elsewhere. can safeguard (fenbendazole) susp 10% goat wormer be given orally (via dropper) to an individual chicken? I have very few chickens and want to just get it in them as quickly and accurately...

Hi all :) I've had this slow spreading disease in my flock since I brought some girls home in September, I'll try to keep the story short. I've been keeping chickens a number of years now, never had a pest or disease problem... I also don't usually buy hens elsewhere, sorta have a hatching...

Hey everyone! I have 3 lovely 1 year old bantam silkie chickens and have noticed that one (my lovely Repecka) has lost a significant amount of weight, has lost her soft fluffy appearance and rather, her feathers/fur looks matted and feels rough no matter how many times I bathe her. She is also...

Hello I recently brought on 10 chickens, and I am wondering what everyone does for monthly care such as liquid ivermectin in the water once a month or apple cider vinegar in the water and how often? How often dusting the coop with diatomaceous earth for mites? And anything else I am missing...

Can anyone confirm the effectiveness of DE in feed for worming? I've read putting some in feed once a month is an effective all around worming treatment. Any truth to that?

Cobalt in wormer?? Hi everyone.I need some advice. On moving to a new property 2 hrs away from my previous property, I have discovered that Ivermectin, even used concurrently with Levamisole in the water, is not very effective. I've done the 3 x 10 days apart, twice. I've even fed them garlic...

Hi there, Reading through the posts regarding worming hens I am wondering about using Wazine 17. I have 8 backyard hens, how do I know if they each drank enough of the medicated water in a 24 hr. period? I put the gallon of medicated water out in the am, in the evening there was still half of...

Hello all, I recently wormed my chickens with safeguard equine paste, just did an approximate “pea” sized dose. They had visible roundworms in their droppings, which is why I wormed in the first place. However I’m reading in a few places that I should have repeated the dose two weeks after I...

Need advice on my new bantam. Last week I bought 2 Millie Fleur Cochin bantams. I drove an hr and after taking them out of the box I noticed the frizzle was falling asleep. And “gasping”. Thinking it was heat or stress related I took them inside. The lady said they were 8 weeks and they still...

I am worming my backyard flock just for worm prevention because ive never wormed them before. I don't think they have worms but recently had a chick that did and want to be safe. With the wormer can I eat their eggs?

So I've had chickens about 8 years, probably none of these are my original hens, and they all seem fit, healthy and happy. But I notice a lot of you mention worming your birds, so now I wonder: how do you know whether your birds need to be wormed, and what do you use to worm them with? I never...
