Deworming

[Mamahenof3]

I think i may have a worm problem in My mixed flock of 10 week old girls and 2 year old girls. I was thinking of trying safeguard.... but cant find any info on if that is safe for my babies... and also if it is safe to give them how would i do the doseage if i have them all together drinking from the same water?

Have you seen worms in the poop? SafeGuard does not mix well in water, and will settle out. So it should be given orally to each chicken. Dosage is 1/4 ml per pound for 5 days to get all chicken worms. It will treat roundworms with giving it once and again in 10 days. If your local vet will do a fecal float on some combined droppings, they can look for the various kinds of worms as well as other parasites. If your birds are all together, I would worm everyone. Both SafeGuard and Valbazen are very safe to use on chickens and work well.
