? about Deworming my hens

[WannaBFarml8dy]

Hi all, I'm somewhat new to BYC I joined a while ago, but maybe only been on here once. With kids out of school and all I've been fairly busy. I have Turkeys, Rock & Orph, Bantams, and young (about 1 month old) guineas. Pretty much all are raised seperate from one another with the exception of the Rocks & Orph, and the Bantams and guineas. I've recently noticed what appeared to be a roundworm in my Turkeys pen. I have purchase liquid wormer to mix with their water.

This is my question(s):

Should I worm my chickens (rock and Orph) at the same time? Should I worm the bantams and Guineas? Can I use this wormer for the guineas? (Only states for use with Turkey, Chickens, and Pig)

And lastley, if I worm my hens, should I use their eggs after they've been wormed(wormer didn't mention this)? Why/why not? If I shouldn't use them, for how long?

If your going to worm I would worm everything. Make sure to call the company for a withdraw dates for eggs and meat. .. Or try food grade DE...

The wormer I picked up is Wazine 17, there is no number on the bottle. But it does say "Do not use in chickens producing eggs for human consumption". I've been trying to look through post, to see if I can get answers with out bothering anyone. I see alot of mention of Wazine 17, but no particular questions or answers that would help. ( unless I'm missing it)

The only other thing that is mentioned on the warning lable is
"Do not medicate prior to slaughter whithin 14 days for turkeys and chickens......."

Or is there a better, safer, less complicated wormer out there?
If there is, where might I be able to find it Farm store/online?


Thank you for taking your time to read my post,
I appreciate all responses and suggestions

Most people consider 2 weeks to be a reasonable amount of time for withdrawal.

DE can be useful as a preventative, but is NOT a treatment.
