We've dosed 45 birds individually, and it's best at night, with a small flashlight or headlamp, while they are roosting.

For a 5lb bird that would be correct - 1ml.At 0.23 ml per pound thats like 1 ml per bird, is that right?! That would dose a 50# goat.
In addition to what @Wyorp Rock stated, chickens metabolism runs at a higher rate than goats. Benzimidazoles are poorly absorbed into the bloodstream in birds and are mostly excreted. That's why there's a higher dosing rate, just enough to be absorbed into the bloodstream/just enough to kill the worms.At 0.23 ml per pound thats like 1 ml per bird, is that right?! That would dose a 50# goat.
When you add a wormer to water, such as Levamisole, you dont know if it will be effective in treating all your birds.Is there anything that can be added to their water that all of them can just drink as a preventative type treatment? I've got 35 birds and there's just no way I'm spending my entire weekend spitting mad trying to catch them all and try to remember which I've dosed and which I still need to.
