A 'one after the other' question for dawg53

I 'dosed' the flock last night with ivermectin (used topically) for mites. As long as I'm out of the egg business for a while, it's about time to worm them again too. How soon can I give Valbazen behind a does of ivermectin?

Thanks

Not sure about that, but cucumbers are a natural dewormer and I think it would be ok to give them a good salad! Lol good luck to you and your flock!

Dawg's the wormer man, LOL. But I think he says 10 days to give the worm eggs time to hatch .

Wait 10 days before you dose with valbazen like Seminolewind mentioned.

The cucumbers will fail your chickens. Been there done that.

Quote:
Valbazen liquid cattle/sheep wormer or safeguard liquid goat wormer. Either wormer will get rid of all or most types of worms that chickens can get. Use a syringe without a needle to administer either wormer orally undiluted. Dosage for either wormer is 1/2cc given orally to each standard size chicken, 1/4cc for smaller chickens. Redose again in 10 days. There's a 14 day withdrawal period after the last worming.
