At what age to begin worming

[Kiki]

Well sorta right if your birds weigh 7 pounds!

....depending on how much they weigh.

Valbazen dose is 0.08 ml per pound.

I'm having trouble inserting a bookmark so I copied and pasted part of @casportpony post:

I know that this dosing stuff can be very confusing, so I put together a little info

If we give Valbazen at 0.08 ml per pound (20 mg/kg), this is how much one gives to their bird:

Math is weight of bird in pounds, times 0.08 ml = amount to give in ml
This is for a 1 pound bird - 1 x 0.08 = 0.08 ml

• 1/4 pound bird gets 0.02 ml
• 1/2 pound bird gets 0.04 ml
• 3/4 pound bird gets 0.06 ml
• 1 pound bird gets 0.08 ml
• 2 pound bird get 0.16 ml
• 3 pound bird gets 0.24 ml
• 4 pound birds gets 0.32 ml
• 5 pound birds gets 0.4 ml
• 6 pound birds gets 0.48 ml
• 7 pound birds gets 0.56 ml
• 8 pound birds gets 0.64 ml
• 9 pound birds gets 0.72ml
• 10 pound birds gets 0.8 ml

The amount shown above applies to Valbazen only.

Hope this helps clear up any confusion.

Thanks, I guess since I had that part wrong I should check on the rest of my info.- Dose and repeat in 10-14 days, toss eggs for 14 days after last treatment. Is that correct? I'll try to get an accurate weight on the girls tomorrow.

Yes that sounds perfect.
