Dewormers For My Flock With Tapeworm?

[Wyorp Rock]

Okay thanks! The local tack and feed has equimax, and another liquid dewormer that i can use as a preventative in their water, so I'm going to get both. I hate few things in life, and tapeworms are at the top of that list!

I know of no preventatives that can be added to the water, do you know the name of the product or can you share a link?

Thanks, I'll have to look into that.

That's what I used for tapeworm (confirmed by necropsy) before. It worked well, but it's hard to get the dosage correct because the paste is not very runny.

Hi! How did you manage the dosage? All I could figure was to give them a tiny bit off the end of the paste, and I couldn't get their mouths to open much so I rubbed it through a little bit. I mean, both chickens got something because they swallowed, but it was such a tiny amount... I hope it works!

I used a syringe. However, it's difficult to get rid of the air bubbles in the thick paste, so I had to retry several times to get rid of air bubbles.

I use this : https://jedds.com/en-fr/products/wormout-gel-vetafarm

It's water soluble but unfortunately it looks, tastes and smells so disgusting that my chickens are reluctant to have it in the water. I give it in something very strong tasting and smelling like mackerel.

Edited : sorry. I didn't read well enough. That's not a preventative. It's praziquantel.

That's o.k.

Yes, worm out gel is another option for treating Tapeworm, thanks for pointing that out.

Yeah I used the syringe it came in. Well, as far as I can tell, their poop looks clear today! So hopefully that means it worked.
