It says one the bottle how much per gallon of water. you will need to follow up with another wormer in 10 to 14 days something like safeguard paste pea size for each chicken throw eggs away following each worming for 2 weeks. Then you should a worming program together like every 6 months or once a year depending on where you live. Also look at some other wormers and each each use a different 2nd wormer change it up so the worms do not get immune to the wormer. Good luck you can do this.

Good advice. I use Ivermectin as a follow up. The Wazine is safe for you to still eat the eggs, but the other wormers I would cook up the eggs and feed them back to your chickens, and dogs during the 2 weeks after worming them.

If your feeding the eggs back to the chickens you are reintroducing the wormer to them. I just threw them away since Ivermectin I heard is bad for dogs. I used the safeguard just because it was my 1st time and it was so easy pea size for all. I was worried about the drop on. I have grand daughters that can not eat store eggs so I was told to throw eggs away when using the wazine also.
It says on the bottle a 14 day withdraw for eggs and butchering so I went off of what the bottle said.
