Roundworm medication question

[hulahart]

Hi there,
Reading through the posts regarding worming hens I am wondering about using Wazine 17. I have 8 backyard hens, how do I know if they each drank enough of the medicated water in a 24 hr. period? I put the gallon of medicated water out in the am, in the evening there was still half of the container remaining. Do I just assume they each drank during the day and that's enough or should I medicate the water for a couple of days to make sure?
Thanks for your advice. Appreciate all of the info on this site.

Follow the directions on your bottle.
No, you would not give for another couple of days. Wazine 17 is given for 1 day only. You would need to assume that each bird drank what they needed.

Were you trying to treat roundworms only?

Yes, only treating roundworm. Thanks for the info. I will retreat in 30 days too.
