Question about withdrawal times

[Jerrod Davis]

Just now working worming the chickens. I was able to get fenbendazole paste for our 14 chickens. Just to be sure I am doing this right I wanted to ask.

We give them the dose, wait 10 days and give another dose, then wait 14 days after that before we can eat the eggs again? That is a lot of destroyed eggs.

If I don't have that right, let me know. Thanks in advance!

You are correct about the withdrawal times.

Thank you. It was an experience getting all 14 their loaded bread hunk of wormer, that is for sure!

I know what you mean. I once had 80 chickens that I had to worm, a few years ago. Now after giving away a lot of chickens to help others start flocks, or add to their layers, I have around 20. It is a lot easier to worm a smaller flock.

Some people don't trash eggs for 14 days.
Some people only trash eggs for 7 days.
Some people don't trash any eggs.

It is a personal choice.

You have the correct dose amount?
