Jeanna Marie, I am still very new to chickens also! I only wormed mine once so far. I do not know if your birds are old enough to worm? You need someone more experienced than me to help you! I am sorry! Hopefully Chirpingcricket or Wisher will be on and can help you more!
Hey, Chicka is correct on the dose. Remember, Wazine will only paralyze any worms (round) in the chicks/hen's body. This prevents a toxic protein reaction if the worms were to die all at once inside your bird, could kill it. Once it is expelled to air, it dies. Any eggs shed in the soil, will be consumed and restart that cycle.
What? What happened? Thought you were going to pick up 2 today from someone local????
My 14 week olds have been out for about nine weeks. No signs of worms as of yet but with the heat humidity and rain I want them to stay healthy. My 7 week olds are in an outside brooder but get on ground at least twice a week.Hey, Chicka is correct on the dose. Remember, Wazine will only paralyze any worms (round) in the chicks/hen's body.

Any eggs shed in the soil, will be consumed and restart that cycle. Once you have treated with Wazine, you will come back with, a wormer that will address the eggs and future outbreaks. I like Valbazen. You will no longer use the Wazine from that point on for routine worming. This is just a brief overview, if you would like, PM me and I'll send you my research/recommendations and protocol. Your 14 week old chicks are fine. Are they presenting with droppings/worms? (looks like spaghetti) If you like, go ahead and wait a few more weeks on the younger ones, unless theyt are showing signs of worms, etc. My thoughts, if their feet have been on the ground at 8 or 9 weeks, they need to be wormed. Especially in the south's humid/hot/wet climate. Thanks and hope this helps.
Thank you AParmer! We hooked up outside lights and I went to sleep early so that I could be up all night waiting for my dogs to bark! So far nothing!The arrogance of some people! I'm so sorry for your loss. Maybe it's time to hook up a camera for a few nights. This makes me want to go padlock my gate.Curses at the ingrates who take when they can ask.
Thanks Chirp! I knew you would bail me out! lolHey, Chicka is correct on the dose. Remember, Wazine will only paralyze any worms (round) in the chicks/hen's body.
