Bad news with dewormer

If you want to pretend I did something, ok

It said to give 0.12ml per 5 pound chicken

Cherryberry said 0.12ml per 5 pound chicken was on the package for chickens. So .5 ml is enough for 5 chickens of 5 pounds This is quit a normal weight for an average layer. But there are huge differences. What breed do you have?

Maybe this package is different from others with a higher concentration?

Yep...do I have to dose them today or can I continue tomorrow

Continue tomorrow. The worms won't go anywhere and 24 hours won't hurt any.

It really is important to give a proper dose. Small doses will only work toward building an immunity for the worms.

You can rest easy now though. They will be okay.

Wikipedia says, According to the British standard, fully grown Leghorn cocks weigh 3.4 kg (7.5 lb), hens 2.5 kg; cockerels weigh 2.7–2.95 kg and pullets 2–2.25 kg; for bantams the maximum weight is 1020 g for cocks and 910 g for hens.

It is meant for goats, but used for chickens off-label. The dose would be .23mls per pound.

This is for goats. Not approved for chickens. It it was for chickens it should say how long you have to wait before eating the eggs.
Its not allowed in poultry industry where I live.
