I don't have panacur. Just safeguard, and zimectrin gold.

I would use the Safe Guard and track down some Valbazen for next time.

Valbazen gets 99% of all known chicken worms and kills them slowly over a period of time, which prevents your chicken from suddenly having to pass a ball of dead worms that can cause a blockage.

Ugh!! Every time I call my local store they are out of the dewormer. All they have is wazine! Never heard of it! Thoughts?? It's supposed to be a chicken dewormer but i think i remember hearing bad things about this? I just remember I vaccinated the horses so I have no more safe guard!!

FYI, panacur and safeguard are the same thing. Use the safeguard to worm your hens. Give them a regular "pea" size amount of the paste orally to each hen.

Valbazen kills all known types of worms that chickens can get, including flukes.

I will get that tonight! I will dose everyone right away! Thank you! What are your thoughts on getting mites out of the coop if they are found? I was told seven dust is not safe?
