Deworming and sour crop

[Chickentender216]

Hey community,
I have a chicken who has sour crop and roundworm. We are deworming the flock but she is separated as she is acting very ill and will only take food/fluids from a syringe.

Can I give her fenbendazole and miconazole at the same time? I have taken some of the medicated water from the flock to syringe dose her with, but with her sour crop I’m not sure if it’s making it through. Can I give both meds? I have the 2% cream form of miconazole.

Thank you!

Welcome To BYC

Yes, you can deworm with Fenbendazole and treat for Sour Crop at the same time.

Safeguard liquid goat dewormer (10%Fenbendazole) dosing for Roundworms Only is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10days.

When deworming chickens, whether you can eat the eggs depends on the dewormer used and its withdrawal period. Here’s a concise breakdown:


• Check the dewormer label: Most dewormers, like piperazine or fenbendazole, have specific withdrawal periods (often 0-17 days for eggs) during which eggs should not be consumed. For example:


• Piperazine: Often no withdrawal period for eggs, but confirm with the product label.


• Fenbendazole (Safe-Guard): Typically 0-14 days withdrawal, depending on dosage and local regulations.


• Ivermectin: Not approved for laying hens in many countries; eggs may need to be discarded for 14-28 days or longer.


• Regulatory guidelines: In the U.S., follow FDA guidelines; in the EU, check EMA regulations. Off-label use may extend withdrawal periods.


• General rule: If no withdrawal period is specified, discard eggs for at least 14 days post-treatment to be safe.


• Consult a vet: For precise advice, especially with off-label treatments or local regulations.


Always read the product label or consult a veterinarian to ensure safety. If you provide the specific dewormer, I can look up more detailed information.

Does anyone know if I can give my chickens canine fenbendazole? I happen to have it on hand for my dogs, but am quite sure I have a hen with worms. If so, how much of this powder to 1/2 gallon of water?
