Deworming.

[Zillaah]

So I planned to deworm my chickens a few months ago but the coyotes got to them and I didn’t observe any worms in the remaining chickens so I chose not do so. Here I am 8 months later, and I noticed some tape worms in a few poops so I decided to deworm them. I had Valbazen on hand. I withheld their feed for the last 24 hours and dosed bread pieces with 1/2cc each. However, being hungry, some of them stole the bread from others. I gave doses to the ones that got stolen from but I’m just wondering if that will be harmful to the ones that stole extra?

No, it wont be harmful. It would be a good thing if the ones that stole the treated bread were the ones infected with tapeworms.
