poultry wormers

[Bat Cave Silkies]

I'm sure someone here has the answer---what is a good all-around poultry wormer that is fairly easy to administer, won't keep me from consuming the eggs, and won't prevent incubation of the eggs?
Thanks

Cayenne Pepper;

It`s a natural wormer. Mix it heavily with your feed to turn it red. Pepper in the front, worms run out the back. Chickens don`t have the heat receptors like most critters, so they eat it up. Worms, on the other hand, heh, heh. You can still eat the eggs. Repeat in 10 days to get the new worms, then about every six months for maintenance........Pop

Thanks Pop!!! I love trying to treat/care for my flock in a "natural" way; I'll pick up some when I do the grocery shopping today.

Do you just do it in one feeding? And them one more feeding in 10 days? Do you grind it up, seeds and all? Can you give it to young birds, 8 weeks? How about ducks?

Verm-X is the wormer I use. All natural and no affect on the eggs.

Chopped pumpkin seeds will also get some worms. The curcurbit in them paralyzes the worms. Some follow that with a molasses flush to get them out quicker. I've also used pumpkin seeds with buttermilk, but other than change the pH in the gut, not sure what buttermilk does. Maybe that's all.

There are no actual poultry wormers approved other than Wazine/Piperazine, which gets only roundworms. All others are cattle, goat and horse wormers used off-label.

Yes, yes, and yes, ducks too. Don`t think 8 week olds will be bothered by worms yet, but it won`t hurt them........Pop
