De-Worming Product Recommendations

[Miss Lydia]

I only have 3 ducks right now, is there an egg withdrawal period for Molly’s? I might order it then for use and safeguard (keep this just to have it stocked in case I see actual wormy droppings).

What do you usually dose for safeguard? Do you just drench it over a treat?

The safe guard I give orally to each bird the herbal I mix in their feed one is a monthly for 3 days they other which is labeled 2 is weekly over feed but only 1 time instead of3 days. The safe guard you dose by weight of each bird.
When I use safeguard I don’t worm my waterfowl. They only get the herbal because everyone eats together.

No egg withdrawal period for Molly’s as it’s an herbal treatment.

None at all

Thanks for the info, my gals only get 1 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes in their daily fold ration a day. I know DE is controversial. But we use food grade and safe handling procedures - our girls are not around when we are putting in in food ( 2% of the total feed weight in DE) and we ourself wear masks until it settles. We’re careful to buy only food grade as it’s amorphous silica with a 1% or less crystalline silica(this is the kind that sticks to lungs when breathed in- for people too). The DE is more for external pest avoidance measures.

It's doesn't work for external pests either, and as most feeds already contain 2% de mixed in, adding more is not necessary.
I'm glad you're taking precautions but your animals are still putting their faces in it. :]
