Boujee rooster

[CrazyChickeyLady]

I have a rooster who has tapeworm. I've got the medicine but he refuses to eat it. He's spent the entire last week wasting medicine i had to look everywhere for. He knows when it's medicine and will kick it out or spit it on the ground. Tried to trick him and wrap it in bread but he picks the bread off and THROWS the medicine. I need ideas because otherwise I'm going to have to give him away. There's no point in a rooster I can't put with my hens.

Don’t give away a rooster with tapeworm.
What is the medication? Would it be possible to administer with a syringe orally while you hold the little bugger’s head?

I wouldn't give him away I'm just frustrated. Worms have been really bad around here this year so medicine is nearly impossible to get so I have this pellet that's got that Flubenol5 or whatever. Beyond lucky I had found it. He literally chose to eat a rabbit turd over the medicine....

Maybe try Praziquantel or you might have that already ?
