She will not really eat solid foods because she can not pick it up. I have some chicken vitamin mix. I will put some outside for everyone and hopefully they can have a drink before it freezes.

I don't think anyone around here would have wormer I live in the suburbs.

How much ivermectin paste should I give per chicken and is it safe to eat their eggs after I have wormed them and how often should I worm them?

BTW Sadie, The maran hen that was sick, Is eating much more than she was and she has gained some weight, so she is feeling so much better now.

Thanx for the support! I don't know where I would be without BYC.

Don't eat the eggs for two weeks after treating. It is usually recommended to re-worm in two weeks, so that would make 4 weeks of tossing eggs.

Just asking,but what would happen if I did happen to eat the eggs of a wormed chicken?

Basically, during that time, some of the medicine you gave them could be in their eggs. I doubt it would be catastrophic, but you would probably ingest that medicine.

If you haven't already done it, i wanted to let you know that you can use the ivomec pour-on and then you wouldn't have to throw away the eggs. But i think it's quite a bit more expensive.
