How young to worm with Ivomec?

[pennie]

I have 2, 5 wk old bantams (one Cochin and one Brahma). I am worming the rest of the chickens tomorrow, but how old should they be before I start with the little ones. And also what dosage?

I don't worm mine until they are 6 months old and they are close to adult size. I don't know if babies would need wormed that soon. Maybe someone on here does and can help you out.

OK , call me a dummy but I had no idea that we had to worm our chickens . We have 29 teens about 12 - 13 weeks old ( some are plmouth Rocks , Austrolourps and Rhode Island Reds .

We also have 3 full grown Laying hens RIR's , 3 others that are fixing to stay laying , and one bantam . PLEASE ADVISE ME

I worm my birds twice a year with Ivomex. Plus Ivomex is good to keep mites & lice off your birds.
Here is the website with instructions & some information.
