Help! Worms

[CEO]

I saw a clump of worms (looked like roundworms) in my chickens poo. I have Fenbendazol/safeguard dewormer for goats how much should I put in their water? I was thinking per gallon, thanks.

I was just about to post a reply but it differed from yours slightly. I read quite a bit on here that it's .23ml / lb of body weight given for 5 days, but you said .23ml / lb of body weight administered once, then repeat in 10 days.

Are both correct? Is one better than another? Certainly, two treatments per bird is easier than five...

Last, I'd like to see a photo of the OP's chicken's worms so we're sure we're talking about Roundworms.

For just large roundworms it can be given once. Capillary worms & gape worms require 5 days.

The liquid is not water soluble.

The liquid is not water soluble.

Oh I was giving it to them like that always. I read it somewhere. Thanks for letting me know. So I’m not sure which of the 4 chickens has it should I syringe them all?

 

[CEO]

The liquid is not water soluble.

And I was wondering if I could give it with something else? if not I can do syringe though.
