Chicken with Worms?

[Michael Apple]

Ok I plan on using the wazine in the morning. Are you sure that the 2 oz. for 1 gal won't kill my 2 hens? Also should I leave the wazine water in their coop all day. After they are wormed when should I wormthem again with wazine?

I had to refresh my memory by looking at one of my bottles. If you use 2 oz in a gallon you may just kill them. Use 1/4 oz (1/2 Tablespoon) in a quart waterer or 1 oz per gallon of water. Worm again 10 days later with a different wormer like Wormazole. It is safe, effective and kills any other worms your birds may have, including tapes, for about $20 and you can worm them all year long on a schedule. I do it Spring, Summer, and late Fall. Others may have different schedules depending on where they live.

Yeah. I have one of those golden Sex-Links too. She's a gentle hen. Keep us posted on her progress.

ok so i wormed them this morning with wazine 17, i did the right amount and my hen with worms drank quite a bit of water. a little while later i went to check on them and she was in the nesting box, and has been for almost 2 hours now but no egg, and she hasnt layed an egg for about a month now. She acted broody when i went to move her to check for an egg but she has never gone broody before and there is no rooster. Also she is just laying in the box now. Any ideas of what could be causing this, maybe the wormer? or maybe she is broody? has anyone else ever had this happen after their hens are wormed for the first time??

Wow that's strange! Never happened to me. My hens always look a bit sick though after I worm them with chemical wormers. If you put a golf ball in front of her does she tuck it under herself like an egg?

 

[Haley Clark]

Ok I will try the golf ball thing. I'm thinking she is just a little sick from the wazine. Since it is her first time being wormed, and she definitely has worms

 

[Megan Amber]

Yeah that might just be it. That's why I prefer the D.E.

 

[Haley Clark]

Well I went to their coop and she was out of the box and acting normal!

 

[Megan Amber]

Huh! Probably just isn't feeling good then from the wormer.

Wormers dont make chickens sick unless they are heavily overdosed, including wazine. Most likely the hen was sick from toxic dead worm overload and she was able to overcome it. DE wont do squat against worms.
