I will try to bring something Allison, I am not sure what yet, it will probably be a last minute decision.

Hi Hilary!

You can get Wazine from most feed stores. Both feed stores by me carry it.

I've used it before but it really isn't a very effective wormer, it's weak and only kills large roundworms.

The very best one you can use is called Valbazen, it kills ALL worms that chickens can get. It's a tad more expensive but it lasts FOREVER. You should be able to find it at most feedstores too, in fact the one by me has it, but I chose to buy it online as it was cheaper.

Let me know if you need more info I have all the dosages and stuff.

x2 because I actually just gave my 15 chickens their second dose of Valbazen and over the past few days I'm now sure ALL of my chickens are laying again. The worms were visible in the poo but they were all acting healthy other than slightly lower production and a few who weren't laying at all...

Just use Valbazen and Ivermectin. Valbazen has a "slow kill time" so you can't get "dead worm overload" which is why we use Wazine first. No need to with Valbazen.

Oh and NOT IVOMEC it's Ivermectin... two different meds!

Has anyone been following this thread?

Looks like they did a cross of Araucana x a commercial strain of Leghorn. Some of the birds are a pretty blue, and others look like a brown Leghorn. All are laying beautiful blue eggs...

I haven't been following that thread, but there are a couple people I know working on an Ameraucana x Leghorn cross project...
