Corid Egg Question

[Wezdin]

Hi, I am pretty sure one of my hen has worms and i have two questions.
Question one: Is there more options instead of corid And is there any natural ways to deworm?
Question two: How long is the egg throwaway length after deworming?

Do you think they have worms or Coccidiosis overload?
Corid is a Coccidiostat that treats Coccidia (a protozoa), it won't treat internal parasites (worms).

What type of worms do you think your chickens have?
Any symptoms?

I'm not trying to be difficult, but different types of worms may require different dewormers.
If you have tapeworms, Praziquantel is the most effective.
Valbazen is a broad spectrum de-wormer and will take care of most worms including some types of tapeworms.
Wazine will treat roundworms only.
Safeguard is also a broad spectrum de-wormer, depending on the number of days given it will also treat most worms.

Thank you for the information. I think I was Hasty in saying that my chicken had worms she had fowl pox previously and was very thin and i was reading that a chicken with worms will be very thin. After examining the poop it does not seem like she has worms. Thank you so much for responding with info and sorry that I posted too quickly. I am still curious as to how long you have to throw away eggs after treating with a dewormer.

It depends on which dewormer, but usually withdrawal is two weeks to be safe. And like was mentioned, Corid is NOT a dewormer. Your best bet is to take some poop to a vet for a fecal exam to see if there are any worm eggs. You can't really tell that they aren't infested by looking with the naked eye.

You won't always see worms in the poop, so if you can have a fecal float, that would be better.
If she continues to lose weight, you may want to consider worming her.

Most dewormers are used off label, so there are no concrete withdrawal periods. A good timeline to follow if you are worried about residues in eggs or if you sell eggs would be to throw away eggs for 14 days after last treatment.
For example: Valbazen is given once, then repeated in 10 days, so eggs would be thrown away for a minimum of 24days.

fwiw - you asked originally about Corid which is Amprolium - there is no withdrawal period.
