Is this the right chicken dewormer and dosage question

[Egg_cited]

This is all tractor supplies has right now. Could I give each hen a half a tablet each?

I visited with Mr Google and found the dosage for 1000lbs of body weight. Not helpful.

Those pellets are not "pills". They are alfalfa based. Large livestock eat mostly alfalfa, so this is a good way to worm them. However, chickens require a much more complex diet, and worming in this manner isn't really practical. I would return that product to the store.

Get this. https://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=FECEB91D-2D8B-4B92-AF62-F46D7076EFFB

No, that is not the right thing. Those are not pills.
I'd take that back.

If your TSC doesn't have Safeguard Liquid Goat Dewormer or Equine Paste, wait until it's in stock, you can try ordering it from TSC and have it shipped to the store or directly to you or you can order it from Amazon.

Get some syringes while you're at it so you can direct dose your birds so they get the proper medication/dose. The liquid and the paste are both the same dose, just different consistencies. Here's how to direct oral dose your birds:

Safeguard dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
