Terri, I was looking for the notes that you gave me about your worming schedule and I can't find it. Do you still have that information so that you can copy and paste?
WORMING SCHEDULE FOR CHICKENS
WORM 4 TIMES A YEAR, EVERY 3 MONTHS.
ROTATE: WAZINE, IVOMEC, SAFEGUARD, VALBAZEN
DO NOT HAVE TO TOSS EGGS WHEN USING IVOMEC.
ALL OTHERS, TOSS EGGS FOR 2 WEEKS AFTER.
IVOMEC INJECTABLE (WHICH DOES NOT CONTAIN OIL & IS THEREFORE WATER SOLUBLE) 1% SOLUTION:
MIX 4 CC PER GALLON OF WATER (12 CC FOR A 3 GALLON WATERER) FOR 2 DAYS. MAKE A FRESH BATCH EA DAY.
IVERMECTRIN .5% USE 8 CC PER GALLON OF WATER.
TREAT AGAIN IN 2 WEEKS IF TREATING FOR LICE/MITES.
DRAW IT OUT, PUT IN WATERER & USE HOSE TO FILL UP & MIX WELL.
OTHERS FOLLOW DIRECTIONS ON LABEL.
SAFEGUARD 10% SUSPENSION LIQUID FOR GOATS: 3 CC PER GALLON OF WATER.
[COLOR=333333]For new birds/babies:
My first worming I use wazine and then during the necessary re-dose (you must always repeat piperazine worming) use the stronger wormer. Then I use the stronger wormer twice annually for those birds thereafter
I worm chicks at four months with ivermectin and put them in rotation with the adults for twice yearly. If on “old ground” start with Wazine[/COLOR]
[COLOR=333333]The quest plus and zimectrin gold are pastes also for horses. Both contain praziquantel, used to kill tapeworms. The zimectrin gold also contains ivermectin. Dosage for both wormers is "BB" size for each chicken, both are inexpensive. Put on piece of bread & feed it to them individually. First time worming; I recommend wazine first, then use one of the other wormers 10-14 days later.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=333333]For peas, same dosage as chickens (3 cc per gallon of water) use safeguard then a[/COLOR]
[COLOR=333333]2 week break, than Ivomec.[/COLOR]
