Does anyone else use Molly's Herbal Wormer on their chickens?

I found signs of worms in my chickens for the first time, and I've ordered Molly's Herbal Wormer. I can't find much information on using this for chickens though...do I have to trash eggs for any length of time?

Did you keep your eggs when using this? Or do you have to trash them for any length of time?

Eggs and meat are both perfectly safe for consumption during treatment. Molly suggests 1 tablespoon per 6 average-sized hens per day for 3 days; I found this to be not enough for stubborn worms, such as tapeworms. I use double that dose since I only treat when I see a problem. It is also safe for very young chicks; I use it to treat coccidiosis when it turns up in my hatchlings.

Ok so my chickens are mostly bantams but what I am wondering is with the formula #1 what mixture do y'all use??? What do u put it in and how do u administer it?

I usually use a little over a table spoon per 6 chickens. I use a bowl type container for a scoop and once I've filled that with feed I stir the wormer into the feed. Make sure you pour the food into bowls and feeders and not the ground so they get more of a concentrated feeding. I've also heard you can make a yogurt mix with it if you want to make sure they're getting dosed
