Please help - worms!

[lalaura]

I noticed at the beginning of July some worms in my hen's droppings. I have tried Wazine to which it had no effect. What should I try now to deworm them?

What will really work? And does it have a withdrawl period from eggs? Please HELP. I am so fed up of this problem.

Valbazen is the wormer of choice. You can purchase it online. I would gather that the withdrawal period would be at least 21 days but, I am not certain of that.

. Do you know what type of worm it is? This will help us establish the best dewormer for your situation.

What is the dosage for it?

Thank you!

They are short white/yellowish worms and there are quite a few in the droppings. More than 6. I didn't really want to sit and stare at the poop all day

I have never needed it for my chickens. Search valbazen on here...you will find everything you need to know.

You could also have a fecal exam done at the vets. That way you would know exactly what kind of worms you are dealing with and he could give you the correct medication to deworm with.

I found this:

use a syringe without a needle and administer orally; 1/2cc for standards and 1/4cc for smaller birds orally. Repeat dosing in 10 days. There's a 24 day withdrawal start to finish.

The whole post is only two pages, so I would read the whole thing...and pay specific attention to Dawg53. I've been researching on the boards recently in regards to worms, and this man knows his worm business! Good luck!
