So I was looking at my chickens poop and the most recent one had what I’m thinking might be tapeworm segments in it have any of you guys used homeovet avian worm clear for tapeworm I would like to know your experience if it worked for your chickens or not I didn’t think of taking a pic of the poop as I was freaking out but if I still need to look and see if there will be anymore poops with these pieces in there if I do see them again I will add a pic here I would very much appreciate your comment on this product thanks

Pictures are helpful. Praziquantel which is the active ingredient in droncit, drontal, Equimax and zimectrin Gold will teat tapeworms,. Each product has a different dosage. Equimax dosage is 0.16 ml for a 5 pound chicken give orally and repeated in 14 days and will treat tapeworms in chickens. I would use a 3 week egg withdrawal time. Insects, earthworms, beetles and grasshoppers are intermediate host of tapeworms. If they are infected and your chicken eats one, they get exposed. Also droppings of chickens with tapeworm can be eaten and reinfect them. This is a video of what tapeworms look like in chicken droppings:
