I usually rotate between the 2 wormers above or use zimectrin gold equine wormer paste when dealing with stubborn tapeworms, normally valbazen gets rid of them though. Valbazen is the best, safeguard is good too.
I start worming around the 8-10th month, sometimes sooner depending on soil conditions. Sooner if there's been alot of rain and warm soil conditions. How often you worm depends on again, soil conditions. Cool, mountainous/rocky or hot desertlike soil may not require as frequent worming as warm moist soil conditions.

Hi,

I have used safeguard in the past and had great results. It is affordable and seemed to do the job well.

I worm my girls in the winter. I am getting ready to worm then this week actually. I find that the winter time produces
less egg loss. They are laying less right now due to the limited day light so for me it is a better time than waiting
till the warmer months when they are laying much more.

I pick them up individually and put the wormer in their mouths, I also dust them at the some time, this way I get all
the not so much fun stuff (in their opinion) over with at one time. There is an egg withdrawl of 20 days or so.

hope this helps
