I've been doing a lot of research but I need to be sure.... Are these the correct dosages for bantams?

Wazine-17: one ounce in a gallon of water for 24 hours

Safeguard (fenbendazole) 10% Suspension for goats: 3 CC (or ml) in a gallon of water for 3 days

I'm starting the Wazine in the morning, then follow up with the Safeguard. How soon after Wazine can I use the Safeguard? Also, I'm not sure about that Safeguard dosage, could anyone confirm it? (for bantams) Thanks!

Well I did the Wazine today, 1 ounce in a gallon of water. I took it out after they roosted for the night. When should I start seeing expelled worms? Also I'm still wondering about that Safeguard dosage and duration for bantams, does anyone know if it's right? I've researched it, but there's several different suggestions and I don't know which one is right. Thanks!

Here's a thread with lots of info on worming, and dosages:

The dosage is right for the Wazine (I just checked the bottle), not sure about the Fenbendazole, hopefully that is in the thread. Remember that when you treat in the water--it is self-dosing--that is, the birds will take in the right amount based on how much they drink, and this will be less for the bantams. So the amount per gallon is the same for any size bird. Just make sure it is their only water for the day (swap out the night before).
 
I use that dosage of Safeguard for all fowl. Different size chickens drink different amounts of water, so they will get what they need just by what amount they drink. Safeguard is pretty safe for the most part. You will not see expelled worms unless they had a very heavy load.
