Due to some symptoms I've observed, I'm going to worm my bantam flock tomorrow with Wazine-17 in the water. Also, I'm going to follow up in 2 weeks with Fenbendazole in their water (Safeguard 10% suspension for goats). Is that a good choice, what all will Fenbendazole kill? Are the dosages the same for bantams as LF chickens? I'd appreciate any advice and if anyone could please confirm the bantam dosages (in the water) for these wormers. Thanks!

Dosage should be based on weight.

I have read several articles that said it was hard to overdose the animals with fenbendazole. I am quoting

"Research indicates that amounts up to 100 times the recommended dosages have been given under research conditions without adverse effects to bird.
Use of this product during MOLT, however, may cause deformity of emerging feathers."

Fenbendazole is effective for Capillary worms, cecal worms, roundworms ( ascaridia) and gapeworms. I remember reading somewhere that in order for it to be effective against roundworms - the dose had to be doubled. However, the purpose of wazine - 17 is to kill roundworms , so you won't need to worry about those when you treat with the Fenbendazole.

Good Luck.
 
there was a good thread on her last fall, can't find it know of course. I have standard's and didn't wright down the dose for banties I know you use less if putting drops on the bird of the Fenbendazole, I used Ivermectin. hopefully someone with experience will log in. How is your hen?
