Here's some information I got from dawg53, he's the resident expert on deworming:
Large round worms are skinny and up to 3 inches long. Cecal worms are actually another type of roundworm but smaller 1/4"-2"...nasty buggars. Wazine wont kill cecal worms, only large roundworms. Valbazen kills all known worms that chickens can get. If you still have some wazine, use it. Dosage is one ounce per gallon of water. Set the wazine water out for them in the morning BEFORE you let them out, they are usually thirsty when first let out and will drink the water. Ten days later, dose them with the valbazen....that will kill any and all worms for sure. You might want to worm them semi annually afterwards.
Valbazen liquid cattle/sheep wormer. You can get it from Jefferslivestock.com or call them. They ship it pretty quick. Dosage is 1/2cc for standard size chickens and 1/4cc for smaller chickens. It is given orally...shoot it right down their throat...guaranteed worming. There's a 14 day egg withdrawal. Jim.
hahaha! I totally get the husband thing. The important thing is to rotate dewormers and to make sure they're killing the type of worm that is affecting the chickens.
