Safeguard (Fenbendazole) horse paste will kill *all worms except tapeworms. Valbazen will kill all including tapes. The dose for both is a pea-sized drop. For big LF Cochins (like the heifers I got from Carl lol) I use 3 pea-sized drops, then repeat 10 days later. I use the Safeguard paste horse wormer because it's so easy to find. Some of the WalMarts even carry it. I'm going to order some Valbazen here soon. That way I'll only have to use *one wormer to get all worms. Ivomec injectable is good for lice &/or mites, 3-6 drops on the skin on the back of their necks.

Ivomec injectable on the back of the neck .. Do's it hurt thim if you put the drop's down the throat ..

I have gave it orally to chickens, pigeons, and dogs and have had good luck with it.

I've heard (only heard) that the injectible given orally can move too quickly through their system, so it may not get everything because it went through too fast.​

I ordered 2 nipples, two different styles. I liked the 360 best. They work good, although two of them drip sometimes.

The good thing is though, that the water stays cleaner, whereas the bowls of water I have sitting out in the pen get super dirty super fast 'cause they lay down in them to keep cool.

Nope, doesn't hurt a bit. Some people do one or the other and some even do both at the same time.

I hung up a couple 5 gal buckets with 5 chicken nipples in each one. I liked that it was less messy, but I just don't think the chickens were getting enough water.They were constantly over there drinking from it. They're still hanging up out there but I put regular waterers out also. I had the ones that were yellow. It was a pain to hang the bucket, I should've used a smaller bucket.

Edited to ask - will that also kill gape worms?

Yes, The Valbazen will take care of Gape worms.
I like to use 1 ltr of water with 1cc of Valbazen for the day and let them consume the water. I actually OD'd a young bird with a syringe once and it wasn't cool.
send me an E-mail and I will send a Article I prepared on Internal and External Parasites as well Identification and treatments of each.

Could you please send the info to me as well? [email protected]
