I have used this in the past. Not sure if it is available in your area.

There are other really experienced folks here who will chime in and correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you for your response! I did read up on Valbazen, and that it does help with tapeworm. I also read that it could be deadly if it’s your chickens first initial deworming. I read to try the Wazine 17 first and then Valbazen. Thank you so much though! I’ll see what others say. This may be my only option. It’s a bit saddening that there isn’t more out there for chickens. I understand that a lot of farmers feel they can be replaced, but I can’t let my birds suffer.

do a search on this site for tapeworms. One article that I read said that Wazine does not take care of tape worms.

Thank you for your reply. I did know that Wazine 17 doesn’t treat tapeworm, but I also read that if your chicken has never been dewormed that you should initially use Wazine 17 and then try a better/all around dewormer such as Valbazen. I read if you use Valbazen first that it could be deadly to your chicken (because it overwhelms their system). It’s quite the dilemma! I hate that there’s not more info/ products out there for chickens. We LOVE our girls and want to provide them with the most comfortable life possible. Thank you so much for your response! Any and all advice is helpful.

My rescue chicken had tapeworms when she initially came to my house. It was awful. I did the same thing you are doing, read read read and finally just used the valbazen. Everything I read stated not to eat the eggs and that in some instances it could be an issue but really I didn't have a lot of options. She was a pullet at the time.

EDIT: I will say she was just fine.

Wow! Sounds exactly like what I’m going through at the moment. I feel like the Valbazen is really what I’ll have to go with. It sounds like you didn’t have any issues though? That gives me a little peace of mind. I guess it’s 6 in one and half a dozen in the other. I’m just going to have to make a decision.

It depends really on which worms you are dealing with?
 
Valbazen is only effective on some types of tapeworm, praziquantel is effective for all of them. http://www.poultrydvm.com/drugs/albendazole
Wazine (piperazine) works by paralyzing the worms, Valbazen (albendazole) works by starving the worms (they are prevented from absorbing glucose). It's usually considered to be a little slower process internally with the albendazole, which can make it a bit easier for the chicken to handle the die off. They will starve at different rates, rather than all be paralyzed at once.
Wazine is only effective for large round worms, valbazen is more broad spectrum and will treat most worms, for tapes praziquantel is best.
