Yes we do as it is the only organic wormer that we know of and the USA doesn't have one taht meets organic standards, that we know of.

I did a google search just like you did

What do you pay for shipping from the UK? Also you said you only give this to your breeders before they start laying and then when they are done and you take them out of the breeding pens, why? Their website says that it is a monthly treatment???

cool thanks next time I need some I'll order from there, even though it cost more then in the UK. Even the shipping is less from the UK to me then from that site. But in a year or two when I need more or asked again I will have the US site. We even order all our dog wormers from the UK, because here in the states you need a prescription for it and it cost 15x's more here in the state as it does in the UK, for the exact same pill.

Also you said you only give this to your breeders before they start laying and then when they are done and you take them out of the breeding pens, why? Their website says that it is a monthly treatment???

Yup thats right. We worm them before breeding to insure 100% health before we put them in pens fro breeding. We then worm them again when we remove them from the opens to insure they don't have worms from being in the pens for 6 months or so and they are healthy to free range. We don't worm every month as it seems it would be a waste of money for us. As we only worm like I just stated. We never worm our market birds ever.​

Hi Mooman:

Firs of all, forgive my english. Fenbendasole don´t cure the Blackhead or Hisomoniasis ( it is an ameba). It only prevent it to get the eterakis gallinarum, wich is a parasit , that lives usually with out any simpthom in chicken, but the chicken transmit it to turkeys. The ameba lives in the eterakis gallinarum organism and once it comes out and infect the turkeys, there is nothing that fembendasole or albendasole can do.

When the turkey is already infected you most use stronger drugs like Furasolidona ( I don´t know if its use is allowed in the U.S. )

If you have free range turkeys and chicken mixed I HIGHLY RECOMEND YOU to deworm them every 3 months with Albendasole, Mebendasole or Fembendasole.

Good luck with your flock


Sincerely
