Tape worms? Need help with removal

How do you use horse paste?

You take a small syringe, draw it up and squirt it carefully into the birds mouth.

How do you use horse paste?

You guess the weight of the bird, or weigh it on a scale and give a certain amount of paste.

The amount of medication in the horse paste varies from country to country, so let me know what you can get and I will calculate the dose for you.

Bye bye tapeworms!
Just a reminder: Tapeworm reinfection may occur if your chickens eat an infected insect. That's how chickens get infected. You can try to safely control the insect population somehow. The good thing is that not all insects are infected.
So just be aware that reinfection can occur. Keep your praziquantel on hand just in case.
