Can you de-worm and give an antibitotic at the same time?

Can you de-worm and give an antibiotic at the same time?
Or will this over load the chicken?

I wouldn't. They will both cause stress to one degree or another, and it is a good idea to give probiotics after giving either one. It's not always an easy thing to learn how two drugs might interact.

I have done both at once, with excellent results. Over 150 birds, no bad side effects. Ivermectin orally and Tylan injected.

Most likely you had excellent results was because ivermectin orally isnt an effective wormer.
