Question about worming chickens

[silkiechic]

I was wondering about the best wormers for chickens. I use valbazen for my goats which i love it. It helps with everything. I was researching on the web and people were saying that you could use it for chickens. I have mostly bantams, and was wondering if I could use it for them and if it would help with mites or lice? Also if so what would be the recommended dose for chickens. Thanks so much

I recommend using wazine 17 first, wait 2 weeks, then use the valbazen. One half cc (one half ml) for standard size chickens... one quarter size cc (one quarter ml) for small chickens. No, valbazen will not kill lice/mites. Ivermectin pour on will though. Valbazen kills tapeworms too, unlike ivermectin. I wouldnt recommed eating eggs for a total of one month,discard your eggs.
