Chicken with Worms?

[casportpony]

FWIW, I have wormed 100 gram peachicks and quail, so I'm used to calculating for the smaller ones.

No I don't have access to scales that will weigh them. my Dutch Bantam Cockerel is 5 mths old and about the size of a Robin.

If you could give me the dosage that would be great. He is my smallest. Most of my hens are the same size about that if a Brown Leghorn. My Roosters are EE little bigger than hens. Should I give it to the ducks and turkeys too?

Does it matter that I have free choice pools with Copper Sulfate out?

Thank-you.

He is smaller than a adult quail.

Do I just force their beak open and squirt it in?

Okay I gave the smallest .1 ml and the larger roos .3 ml the turkeys.4 ml. I will do this for 3 nights. Does that sound about right? What is the withdrawal period for eggs using safeguard?

This is my baby.

Thank you for all the help. 27 chickens, 4 ducks, 2 turkeys, and 2 goats later I'm worn out.

What type of turkeys are they? Rememer, it's 0.2ml for every 2.2 pounds.

Hey I haven't been on here in a while, sorry for not replying. But my hen, Daisy that has had all of these problems with worms and what not did recover from everything, but one morning she was sleeping in our garage in here little box and she got up to get water and just fell over dead!! After all the medicine we went through, she died from something internal. We were told it was probably cancer or a tumor or something of that nature. But the good thing is she died peacefully and I can say she didn't die from parasites (woohoo)

Here are some numbers that I did for someone else:

The weights were take from wiki pages, so I hope they are accurate, lol. The dose amount is based on 20mg per kilogram of 10% fenbendazole and one can use liquid or paste, it's the same.

Give hens the amount listed, by mouth, three days in a row. Know that it's better to give too much than too little.

EE hens - 2.5kg - 0.5ml fenbendazole 10%
Barred Rock pullet - 2.3-2.7kg - 0.46ml to 0.54ml fenbendazole 10%
Barred Rock hen - 3-3.4kg - 0.6ml to 0.68ml to fenbendazole 10%
Cream Legbar Hens - 2-2.7kg - 0.4ml to 0.54ml fenbendazole 10%
Production red hen - 2.9kg - 0.58ml fenbendazole 10%
Russian Orloff Hen - 3kg - 0.6ml fenbendazole 10%
Delaware hen - 2.9kg - 0.58ml fenbendazole 10%
Lavender Orpington hen - 3.6-4.8kg - 0.72ml to 0.96ml fenbendazole 10%
Welsummer hen - 2.7kg - 0.54ml fenbendazole 10%

You should probably follow up with a single dose on day ten to get any eggs that might have hatched.
