Chicken has worms.

[katycouts]

So I was out with my chickens collecting eggs and changing water and feeding. I realized some of the poop has little white worms. I think it’s tape worms. How do I treat this and are the eggs safe to eat?

Tapeworms can be treated with Equimax Equine paste. Dosage is 0.03ml per pound or 0.15ml for a 5 pound bird given orally. It's best to dose early in the morning before birds are fed. There's a 14 day withdrawal period.



Here's what tapeworm segments look like:

My hens recently had worms so I had to treat them with medication.

Not sure if this available where you are but it treats multiple types of worms and you put it in the chicken’s water. I can’t remember the egg withdrawal period, but I wouldn’t eat her eggs for two weeks just to be safe.

Kilverm is Levamisole. I've used Levamisole soluble powder and it's an excellent wormer. However, it will not treat tapeworms.

Could you post a picture or video of the poop with worms?
