Safe-Guard Fenbendazole Goat Dewormer Liquid Dosage For Chickens. Having trouble right now

[AgirlWhoLovesHerGirls]

I am confused because discussing 2 different products with 2 different concentrations and 2 different delivery methods. What is the dose per lb or kg that a chicken should receive of the Safeguard dewormer for goats (100mg/ml) via direct administration to the beak?

Correct dose is .25ml per pound of body weight, given orally.
If you are treating roundworm only, you can do 2 doses 10 days apart. If you don't know what parasite you are worming for, or are treating for capillary worms then you need to do that dose once a day for 5 days in a row.
That will take care of all the common parasites except tapeworm or coccidia.

Thank you! Is there a period where we can’t eat the eggs? If so, is it safe for the chickens to eat the eggs?

Standard withdrawl period is 14 days following dose, if you worry about that. Residues are very low, but do what you are comfortable with. If you are going to follow withdrawl, then you can't feed them back to the chickens. Honestly, I used to follow egg withdrawl. I have to worm quiet often due to roundworm, and the egg loss was huge. I no longer worry about it for the eggs I consume. If I sell any, I don't sell those that come during the withdrawl period, to other people. I am allergic to most of the planet, and I've had no issues. For years. But, please do what you think is right and what you are comfortable with.

"I am allergic to most of the planet." Hahahaha!

Yeah, we eat eggs after using Safeguard or Valbazen. We're still alive after all these years.
