roundworm treatment help!

If you can separate them each one at a time... You can squirt the medicine on a piece of bread and feed it to them.

Just be sure you keep track of who you have already given it to and be sure that each one eats it.

Excellent advice KIKI

If I found large roundworms I would treat exactly as @Kiki said.

thank you. I'll get to weighing them and calculating now. Gosh I hate putting it down their mouths, im always so worried they will aspirate it

I weigh my birds, by holding them, standing on the scale, then subtracting my weight.

Note: I have some pretty heavy hens!

Do this today and then you will need to repeat it in 7-10 days.

thank you so much! I thought it was everyday for a few days … do I just repeat it once then in 7-10 days?

Are you positive it's only roundworms?

not 100% because I haven't got them tested in a lab but the worms I saw were white and about 7-8cm long... will it make a difference as to how long I give it for if it isn't just roundworm? I gave last night so not sure now whether to wait a week or give again today?

I'm pretty sure, for roundworms, you can wait a week.

ok thanks. last question I think (sorry!) - Is there an egg withdrawal period and how important is it? I've heard some people say its just for people with allergies and they ignore the withdrawal period.

Most people wait a week to eat eggs.
Some people wait two.
Some people don't wait at all.

I'd wait two weeks myself.
