Deworming in hens

[dawg53]

In my opinion Ivermection is the easiest and best way to go;

I've used it before with not so good results due to its overuse as a miteacide in building worm resistance to the product. It is ineffective as a wormer.

I started using Ivermection 6 years ago to cure a bad case of worms. I've been using it religiously ever since as a preventative and my flock has been worm and parasite free.

This study is referring to injectable intramuscular Ivermectin. I am referring to the pour on. 6 drops on the birds skin on the neck

Is Rooster Booster given for one day or multiple days?

I gave it to mine for about a week. They were pooping out dead roundworms, big ones...which is why I wondered if those were from cats.

Gonna try the horse wormer or the Wazine next time.

Six drops is how many mg's? And why would giving it topically make a difference? Not positive, but I think that study also had birds that were given ivermectin orally, but maybe not, I don't remember.

If they were mine they would get .2ml to .5ml per 2.2 pounds of body weight for five days.

Yes, for standard size birds.
