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
 
thanks for the help
