Also, the parasite can be picked up from both earthworms, Beatles, or from caecal 'drinking' from turkeys roosting on the ground and direct ingestion of the parasite off ground from infected feces.

I'm going to sit down, figure that one out and then go to store !
Prob after I give my birds a few days break. I just lost a second one in a month. I saved 2 though!

AHA so benzimidazole basically means a wormer.

I would use Safe-Guard.
Hopefully @casportpony will be online soon and chime in.

I also ordered some copper sulfate. I found an old treatment with this also.

Do you have chickens too?

I prefer albendazole (Valbazen) for worming, but fenbendazole (SafeGuard)is fine. The horse paste and liquid got wormer are equal, so 1/4 ml per pound of either contains the same. It can be given once and repeated in 10 days for cecal worms. I may have given the wrong dosage earlier. It is found at most feed stores especially TSC. Valbazen is usually available at Rural King and Southern States Co-op, but I have never seen it at TSC. It is available online, and more expensive, but it treats way more birds and lasts for a couple of years. There is a 14 day egg and meat withdrawal that is commonly used with both drugs.
