@lotsofloveforchickens it looks like you have 6 threads going on this same subject. It is very hard to keep up with everything that everyone has told you with so many threads. It would be ever so much easier if you stayed with one thread for any particular bird or issue, that way we don't keep repeating info or muddying the waters with unnecessary information.

For the last time: EQUIMAX equine paste is the best treatment. How do I know this? I've dealt with tapeworms many times and the praziquantel in the product kills tapeworms deader than a door nail!
Refer to the link I provided in your last thread for dosage. Good luck!

Here's a different link for you to read regarding worms and worming, including treating tapeworms (Cestodes.)

I would be a bit cautious about this one, unless you have a fecal done to confirm it worked after treatment on tapeworm. Piparazine is effective on roundworm and pinworm, phenothiazine dropped out of use in the 1950's with the advent of newer medications-no idea if it is still effective, Dibutyltin dilaurate has some side effects at too high a dose. I would still go with a medication that has praziquantel in it (equimax horse paste) as that seems to be the currently favored medication that is effective for treating tapeworm. Most people recommend a 14 day withdrawl period for eggs, but most wormers have not been studied in poultry so there is no literature with definite withdrawl times. I personally would be a bit concerned about the Dibutyltin dilaurate and phenothiazine due to what it is. That's just me, this the info I found:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenothiazine

Dawg53 said in your previous thread to use Equimax horse paste for tapeworms. I have no idea of the dosage, you could ask him or casportpony, she knows everything about dosage. Good luck!

Geez! Where on earth did you find these?

Is there any withdrawal time, standard 14 days after treatment?
At Dels or the one behind Verna's?

The box says just one day

thanks for letting me know how this forum stuff works I know I had lots of questions and all were very similar but I was getting worried about my hen wasn't sure how to fix her problem and her poop kept changing every time I would check it. I guess I got to worked up. next time I will keep in mind to use one forum.
