Deworming multi size chickens

[JaimeRoxMySox]

I have so many mixed breeds from Serama to Brahma and every size in-between all in 1 big coop. What can I put in their water to deworm them and how much do I put in it? They all drink from the same source. Fox and raccoon got into my other 2 structures and can't currently separate the chickens by size. How do I dose them and with what?? Ill use natural remedies as preventative in the future but I need a fast medicine fix to knock it out first. This is a nightmare I've never dealt with in my 12 years of chicken life. I have about 20 chickens including 5 chicks.

Are you seeing worms in the poop?

Most medications are dosed by weight. This ensures the bird is getting the proper medication and dose.
I'd dose each bird individually. You can find Safeguard at TSC or order Valbazen online.



To treat most worms that poultry can have except for Tapeworm: Safeguard dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
---OR---
Valbazen dose is 0.08ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days.
