My girl just pooped out this worm

I'm sure you wrote a post confirming that it had been approved.

For fenbendazole?

Yup, my bad it was Fenbendazole.

So, to be correct, Flubendazole is approved for use on poultry in the EU and a number of other countries. It's probably fine for American poultry as well.

yeah, it is probably fine, but it's hard to get. Much easier to go to Tractor Supply and get a 125 ml bottle of fenbendazole.

The OP can do that then.

Still find it strange that a tractor shop sells chicken medication.

That's a roundworm and if it were me I wouldn't touch an egg from those chickens for some time- I know in theory they don't transmit through the eggs but I sure wouldn't take any chances if I was you.

Good news is you can get medicine from most farm stores:

Worm your birds orally with either Safeguard liquid goat wormer or Valbazen liquid cattle/sheep wormer. Not only will these wormers take care of large roundworms, they will eliminate other seen and unseen worms such as cecal worms, capillary worms and gizzard worms.
