Fenbendazole dosing question

and cecal worms, not capillary worms.

Last year the fecal float showed roundworms and a few cecals. I’m seeing roundworms in the EE poop. Still getting rain which means slugs and snails aplenty.

Pea size....

I know, right? Well that’s what I put into the little syringe and when I pushed it down with the plunger it ended up being about .75 ml. I think I should get a smaller syringe. Would be more accurate.

It does no good to under dose them.
A little more won't hurt.
Under dosing will.

Pea size is equal to 1/4 ml of the liquid.

Thank you!

Which is not enough for a four pounder.

It depends... If one wants to treat just large roundworms and cecal worms, and have a zero day egg withdrawal, the dose for a 4 pound hen is ~0.02 ml per 4 pounds for 5 consecutive days. If they want to treat capillary worms, it's 0.9 ml for five consecutive days, and this requires at least 14 days of egg withdrawal.

Thank you...I think I misread, my bad.

This is where I got confused reading the threads. So .23 ml a day for 5 days would be the dose for a 5 pound hen?

0.23 ml per pound (0.9 ml per four pounds) for five consecutive days will treat almost all worms, but does require at least two week egg withdrawal.
