Hi all! I tried going through the forum for answers but for some reason nothing is loading for me. I have a few quick questions.
I’m deworming for specifically round worms, I don’t know if my whole flock has it but I know atleast 2 do so as preventive measure I’m deworming all.
First question: my flock has varying weight. I’m using the goat dewormer 10% suspension. Half my flock is 4lbs the other is 6lbs. Does the dose have to be so close to the weight that I could not give a 4lb chicken the 6lb dose?
I have acouple 1and 3 lb birds that I Ofcourse wouldn’t give the 6lb dose to because that seems way too big of a stretch, but could the 1/3 lb also share a dose size?
Second question: this is just for round worms however I’m not opposed to treating for all the other types just in case.
I read elsewhere that round worms are once, and then again in 10 days.
And the other worms including round, are 5 consecutive days.
If I want to treat for all worms but mainly round, do I do the 5 consecutive days and then one day(following 10 days later)? Or just 5 consecutive days and then not again at all?
