Trying to find a product that is good for "maintenance" in worming your chickens. Preferably something that you can use and is still safe to eat the eggs! Is there such a thing? Please advise. Thanks.
Valbazen is the best. I always eat the eggs. I figure the tiny 6 lb chicken dose is teeny as it is. Plus it's not like it multiplies by 1000 and concentrates in the egg
You will read here that it's recommended to toss eggs for 3-4 weeks after any chemical wormer. Not everyone does, certainly. The drug in Valbazen is also used for people to treat worms. Of course there's always a risk of an allergic reaction with most any drug; it doesn't happen often, but it happens. I wouldn't sell or give away eggs during the 3 or 4 week withdrawal. There are "natural" wormers, but if you know you have a worm problem, they aren't going to be as effective.
I scramble some eggs & put cayenne pepper in it until it is dark red (4 to 8 oz to one doz eggs) repeat in 10 days. Hope this helps!
