I have the zimecterin gold, is that also the .15ml for a 5 pound hen? It has 7.75 praziquantel.

For Z-Gold, a 5lb hen would get 0.59ml. 8lb hen would get 0.94ml.

The z-gold seem to clear the tape worm immediately. I just did the follow up dosage. How long do we wait to return the two chickens to the group?

You can do it now if you wish.

Not with tapeworms. Tapeworms need a host such as an infected insect to be eaten by a chicken in order to get re-infected. Also you would see tapeworm segments in feces. Each segment contains hundreds of eggs. Once the segments work their way into the soil, the eggs are released to be eaten by earthworms, ants, beetles etc...Here's a pic.
