Deworming question....

[SurferchickinSB]

Hello,
I am getting a new rooster for my established flock and was hoping to deworm him for internal parasites so that my hens don’t get infected (just to be safe). I have some Panacure (fenbendazole) paste that I could give at a very low dose as well as some injectable ivermectin. Any suggestion or recommendations would be very appreciated!

I think I have seen an article on that paste, it’s used for larger livestock. I have never used it but I think the dosage was to give the chicken the size of a pea, don’t take my word for it, I am sure there is somebody on this site that has used that product.

Yes I have the paste. I was thinking of giving him a pea sized amount orally... hopefully that should work

Weigh the rooster so you can give him the correct dosage.
Dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally for 5 days in a row.

Is this the recommended dosage for fenbendazole 10% paste (100mg/g)?
