I give mine Wazine every 6 months.. it doesn't get rid of all worms but it works on the common ones.

what do you do with your eggs from that time period? Do you feed them back to the chickens or throw them out? I give mine wazine also and was wondering how long you should wait before eating the eggs after treatment?

I thought Wazine only killed one type of worm ?

 

[Runawaylobster]

I forget which one it kills, roundworm i think...

I throw away eggs for 10 days, and repeat worming in 1 month.

Valbazen kills many more varieties of worms but you have to dose each chicken individually
rather than putting it in the water like you do with Wazine.

Hello everybody!! Brand new to BYC and everything that goes with it. I have done tons of reading on different breeds and different style coops. We live in indian river county, Florida. We are just finishing our coop and will be ready to have chicks by the weekend. Does anyone know reputable people to purchase our beginning flock on the treasure/space coast?

Hello! I have had my chickens for almost 5 months now. However in from MI and this is totally different environment then I'm used to! How often do you all worm your birds here? I have 8 chickens and all are different breeds. I let them free range all day long and lock them up at night but 2 days ago my cochen baby was attacked and I'm not sure by what....he is currently rehabilitating in my bedroom... Vetericyn 3 times a day. And last night my silkie was laying in the bottom of the coop soaking wet and limp... I warmed her up with a blow dryer and she pooped out a giant worm and now seems fine. I wormed with safegaurd(horse wormer) but not sure if I gave enough to be effective! I know I'm posting randomly bit I'm new to chickens and Florida. I need all the help I can get! Lol

That is a great subject you brought up. My 4 chickens are healthy looking and I have never seen any worms in their poop ( I did research on the poop page too

). do I still need to worm them? Is that a prophylactic treatment that should be done how often? All mine are laying and just under a year old.
