Deworming

[dawg53]

Do you know that your chickens have worms and what type they have?

You want to find a dewormer that is the best fit for what you're fighting.

It doesnt matter what type of worms a chicken has if you use Albendazole or Fenbendazole (Safeguard). Either product eliminates all types of poultry roundworms. I prefer Albendazole.

However, if tiny white tapeworm segments are seen in feces, use Praziquantel. Use either Equimax or Zimecterin Gold equine pastes for tapeworms.

I do a preventative treatment routinely with fenbendazole because worms are such a common issue and letting the numbers build to the point you see symptoms can make it harder on the bird once you do treat from mass die off.

Curious about the mention of Albendazole as being preferred by @dawg53 . What is the advantage from your viewpoint and what product label are you choosing?
