Unfortunately we are unable to get Flubenole in the US.

I am going to try Safe-Guard Aquasol per the University of Pennsylvania: https://extension.psu.edu/deworming-backyard-poultry

Hello all! First time poster, long time lurker. I have a flock of about 60 free-range chickens and I've noticed a few of them with some symptoms of worms, and also have noticed worms after a heavy rain washed away the poop they were hiding in. Folks with larger flocks, what method do you recommend for deworming when you are unable to handle each chicken individually? I am specifically looking for a hands-off approach. Thanks all!

I have solar lights in the barn so it's never super dark. So far what I'm hearing is that my ONLY option is to dose them individually?? What do the large scale commercial places do, I wonder?

Large Scale Commercial operations would use Safeguard Aquasol, it's the only "FDA Approved" product for commercial poultry. It's expensive and used to treat Roundworms only.
You can purchase it through places like QC Supply.

Thank you, I found someone selling a smaller amount and have ordered it. Appreciate the recommendation.
