There are a lot of out dated things on the UPA website that I have tried to get updated and replaced with the right ways to do it without success, just maybe one of these days we may get it updated.
As for worming you hear these folks saying well we have to many birds to catch to give shots too, let me see right off the top of my head Brad Legg (Leggs Peafowl) catches about 2000 Peafowl twice a year for shots, Gwen Hibler (Backroads Farm) 300 to 400 birds twice a year, Doug McNutt (D&M Farms) a couple hundred and the list goes on. We don't have as many now but at one time we caught around 350 birds including chickens to give all them shots twice a year as well. You can catch and give each bird a shot of Ivomec Plus 1cc and this should be good until you do it again later in the year, but you will still need to worm with other stuff as well because Ivomec don't kill all worms. We like to Ivomic then 1 month later use Safe Guard for Goats in their water 4 to 5cc to 1 gallon of water for 3 days, but remember just because this works for us it may not work for you You may need to worm more if in wet areas etc....
If you have free range birds and can't catch them, then just use the Safe Guard 4 to 5cc to 1 gallon of water for 3 days changing water everyday then 1 month later use something else like Valbazen or something like that.
