Valbazen is a good wormer. I don't know how readily available it is in your area. Some feed stores may carry it. My TSC did not. I had to order mine from Firststatevetsupply.com. Jefferslivestock.com also carries it. I use Zimectrin Gold (paste) for my horses and have read on here that it is also good for chickens, as it also kills tapeworms. You'd use a pea size for standard chickens and BB size for smaller chickens.
I'm sure you know that Wazine is only good for roundworms, and sounds like you're dealing with those. Valbazen takes care of everything. I've been told that Valbazen is safe for first time use as well, but I used the Wazine first because I had to wait for the Valbazen to be shipped. Good luck!

Administer the valbazen orally undiluted. Dosage is 1/2cc for standard size, 1/4cc for smaller birds. Redose them again in 10 days after the initial worming.
