Does tapeworm affect the egg production of chickens?

Recently fenbendazole has been approved for laying hens with no withdrawal period; that would have been a better choice.

Were you able to confirm this with your friend?

Thankyou all for your input. I will continue with this worming treatment and hopefully get some eggs again!

What is the active ingredient of the wormer?

Okay, I found it:
https://animaldrugsatfda.fda.gov/adafda/app/search/public/document/downloadFoi/3083

It is AquaSol, which is a water soluble 200 mg/ml fenbendazole. It is approved for use in laying hens for treating large roundworms and cecal worms only. Because other worms, like capillary and tapes require *much* larger doses, it is not approved to treat those worms.

Approved dose is 1 mg/kg per day.

I haven't heard from Dr. Fulton; I'll email him for Monday and see what happens.
I'd use fenbendazole before levamisole any day!
