Another Ivermectin Question

Valbazen (albendazole) can be purchased online Jefferslivestock.com or you can call them. It's a liquid cattle/sheep wormer. Dosage is 1/2cc for standards, 1/4cc for smaller chickens. It's given orally. ETA; it kills all known worms that chickens can get....good stuff.

I will go and pick up some Sevin from the farm store tomorrow. I treated the other birds with the ivermectin as well and cleaned the coop. I will buy the sevin and clean it again and dust.

Pardon my stupid question, but when you give anything to your birds orally isnt there a special method for doing so. I think I read somewhere on here that if you do not do it correctly that it can go down their wind pipe? Is this true?

I believe the wormer Dawg is talking about comes as a thick cream that will hold a BB sized dose for LG Fowl, which in my experience when placed on beak tip dissappeared immediately. On at least one of mine, I never got it to the beak before they pecked it off finger. So be careful to dose each one separetely.



And, yes, Sonew,


Dawg Definetely rocks!

Valbazen is a liquid, not a thick cream. Fl_deb, I think you are referring to Zimectrin Gold or Safeguard which are pastes and are good wormers. Valbazen is much better than Z-Gold and Safeguard as far as wormers are concerned.
