Need some solid common sense advice os safeguard wormer.

[Matejka]

I have a small flock. 3 months old.
My birds have worms, they are light for size, and see worm in poop.
Been reading, many threads, good etc...
Got safeguard for goats.
My girls free range, because of rain, water everywhere, so I decided individual dose in syringe.
Now for confusion.
I need someone to show me on a pic of syringe exact dose for a chicken. I have a good idea, need verification.
My birds are slightly over a pound.
My research (correct me if wrong) .
0.23 ml per pound?
Unconfuse me- where is that on a syringe

 

[Matejka]

Suringes are 1ml with marks 1-10

So it looks to me like you would fill up the syringe to the "2" line and then keep going three more marks.

Um, sorry. Per pound of bird. So you need to do some math first, starting with the weight of each bird.

 

[BigBlueHen53]

A 3-lb. bird would get 0.69 or almost to the 7 line on the syringe.

That parts easy. They are all slightly over 1 pound. Thank you!

You're welcome, glad I could help.

1 time dose or the 5 day dose?
These are not the round worms

 

[dawg53]

I recommend the 5 day dose.

 

[Matejka]

I recommend the 5 day dose.

Thanks
