I used Ivomectine...wonder if I should get something stronger! Geesh.

Ivermectin will kill all round worms and several other classes of worms. What it will not kill is tape worms. This is why rotating dewormers can be helpful.​

Use Ivomec Eprinex spot on treatment on the back of their neck. It is off label for poultry but I used it works good. The wormer comes in a blue box. Google it.
revised to say that it was recommended to me by "someone in the know"

DE is not a de-wormer nor does it kill lice, mites or fleas.

DE won't kill as a first line of defense. I used Eprinex first then again in 1 week. Then I use DE in food and in run, coop and nesting boxes. Had worms and Lice. Not any more. Been pest free for 2 months.

Been pest free for 2 months.

How do you know they are worm free???​

 

[winekntrychicks]

As far as worm free I don't know for sure. I am assuming, When I wormed you could see the worms in the cecal poo. They were small about the size of hair and short. Sorry for that error. I do plan on de worming every 3 to 4 months. I they had lice a small case. They have been lice free for 2 months and counting....

I lived in Ecuador for two years back in the late 70's.

Back then I got a tape worm... it kept me skinny but gave me some cramps and Atahualpa's Revenge.

The way we got rid of tape worms was to fast for 24 to 36 hours then down a quart bottle of Coca Cola. (For medicinal purposes) Within six hours of that treatment, I passed a HUGE tapeworm.

Started gaining a littel weight again after that.

Aaah, thanks. I thought maybe you were sending fecal samples to the vet to have them checked or there was some secret trick that I needed to know...

I picked up Wazine (piperazine) at the store today and am worming my crew. Egg production is down anyway, makes a lot of sense to do it now.​
