Valbazen (albendazole) Broad-Spectrum Dewormer
for use in cattle and sheep
copy from old post:

Valbazen which is a cattle wormer is the best I've ever used..It kills more types of worms than all the others combined, And you don't have to worry about a massive worm kill like with piperazine or ivermectin which will sometimes clog the intestines..Valbazen slowly starves the parasites over a 2 to 5 day period..Valbazen is also used for human treatments at 400 mg child or adult..So unless you are allergic to it I'ts ok to consume the eggs after treatment, But I and all I know wait two weeks ..I'ts pricey at around $40.00 per bottle but well worth it

Dosage is 1/2 cc orally to adult large fowl.. 1/4 cc for bantams and young standard breeds​

I sat down one day and figured out the dosage to be 5 cc/gal of water, if you want to just put it in their waterers. It doesnt separate, so it works good that way. I just wormed with Valbazen a few months ago, and that was how I did it. With over 100 chickens, I just couldnt individually dose them.

I just put it (Valbazon) on a piece of bread. I have errrrr, quite a few chickens, so I just do it at the same time I dust each one with poultry dust and check them over. I try to dust every couple months, but I worm twice a year. However, I may up that to 3 or 4 times a year as we are thick in worms and parasites here. Even my meaties had worms at 8 weeks old.... that's how bad it is. Cocci is just horrible here. I HAVE to use Corid every group I put on ground, or I lose some. Learned the hard way...

Oooh!! Looky! Looky! Looky what I found!! I Googled Valbazen for chickens, and one of the top listings was for this place:

http://www.firststatevetsupply.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=72

Check out the price on this stuff! $26 is a far cry from the $40 that the other poster mentioned. And it treats up to 450 birds?!?!

Holy crap! That's a lot of birds! It's a sure bet I wouldn't run out any time soon with only 24 babies. Looks like this place might have a few other bargains floating around as well.

OK, Denny just rang the dinner bell....gotta run!

Thanks again for the information Kathy. Now I hope I can get this at my local feed store.

Well have an update here. Still getting over the winter funk from last week and healing from the surgical removal of two cancerous looking moles, ugh. My November babies will be going out to the outside brooder by Tuesday at the latest to make room for the Turkies and LF Partridge Cochins and some BOs and a EE.

Heres one of the Jersey boys.

My Chipmunk out of my EEs. Sex unknown. Thinking Girl

One of my BLRW escaped from the big chicks and is now surrogating the younger chicks.

Some of the othe Jerseys with the other BLRW in the back.

After this next hatch which goes on lockdown Monday and Tuesday the next batch will be New Years consisting of Partridge Rocks.

LH don't murder poor little Chyenne. I can say I give my momma a hell of a time when I was her age up untill the age of 20. Me and momma are too much alike, lol . I would not!!! go back to being a teenager for no amount of money. I dont know about everybody else but my teenage experience with hormones and changes you couldnt stand yourself let alone the people around you. Wouldnt go back no way no how!! Just tell her Santa will give her a lump a coal if she doesnt straighten up!! Still sending prayers your way!!!

Hope you are feeling better!

Thanks all for the understanding...I swear I do not know who I want to witch slap harder her or that idiot that assisted (well 5 minutes worth) in her creation...

Amazing...simply amazing how TADA SUPER DAD spot on the nonsense wagon.

She is almost back to her normal self...after dinner she hopped right up and went to do dishes like nothing happened. *smacks forehead with palm* I really am too old for this nonsense.


Beth...I have no idea why she did not wish to scoop Diva poo

I mean Jo just stands there and lets her walk under her neck carrying the 5 gallon bucket of stuff for the pile and let her walk right back under her with the empty so I thought "Cool all is well here so I will fight the clutch, snow, ice and hills to run get her a gallon a milk and her pop tarts" Man if I had only known. LOL


Halo, that is a handsome blue boy...I must get pics of my d'Artagnan, Son of Suede and Lancelot to share. I so love my blue orp boys

Brandon those babies are adorable and I love it that the BLRW hopped into there to surrogate the little ones...how sweet.


Okay all....the big shindig here will be the first weekend in May...and DH and I are working on some neat ideas... With NellaBean's construction instruction, Everyone paying homage to the Diva, chickens and more chickens, Bar B Que and DH is thinking of doing some blacksmithing for everyone...like making coop hooks for all while you watch....and and and and hehehehe Details later....
