Questions re: roundworms!I want to treat ASAP. Help! I have broody hens

[CCinVT]

I feel like water dosing will be easier to accomplish then food, as my wyndottes are so pushy compared to the faverolles. My Faverolle Bernie is the one who pooped worms. I obviously want to make sure she gets enough. Can the goat safeguard be put in water?

I have the goat liquod one in my hand now, but the horse paste is here too of that will be easier to get in them...

Should I try to get some in them tonight or in AM when they are hungry/thirsty?

Ok. I got the liquid goat. Heading back home now...

Tomorrow morning is fine!
Keep us updated on how they do!

Sorry I wasn't able to respond while you were there at the store, I stepped away.

I would dose them straight to the mouth, skip the water, to make sure they each get dosed.

Am I supposed to dose babies this way? Because they are so tiny that scares me. Am I risking asperating them? My broodies bite :/ I'm also still unsure of what my doses should be given my various sizes... I knew you would reply when you could! Would putting it in the water not be fast acting enough you think? I have the little syringes...

I would not dose the babies.

I also just realized that the poop board is still outside with a glass jar over the blob of worms...where do I put them? I don't want my chickens to eat them...or spread them... Do they die once they are out?

Safeguard dosing:
.23 ml per pound per chicken.
for 5 days straight.

Then repeat one dose again in 10 days.
