How much wormer do I use?

[ILoveDaffy]

The only wormer that I found that can be used on chickens was safe guard goat wormer. How much would I use on my hens?

Please answer as fast as possible so I can worm them soon

Any help you have is welcome

I have never wormed before, so I do not know what exactly to do to find how much.

What type of worms are you trying to get rid of and what type of dewormer are you using? On the bottle it should say the chemical used for the deworming process.

I found this on the forums.

Disregard that post. The Safeguard liquid goat wormer doesnt mix well in water, making it ineffective.
If you're going to use Safeguard liquid goat wormer, give it orally to each chicken using a syringe without a needle.
Dosage is 0.23ml per pound for 5 days.
Or you can use Valbazen liquid cattle/sheep wormer using a syringe without a needle. Dosage is 1/2ml given orally to each chicken. Redose in 10 days.
