Tapeworms coming back after a week each time

[Louisetho2]

Hi.
I’ve been dealing with tapeworm since Between August and October last year.
I treated with Avitrol plus and Equimax however the tape segments keep coming back in my chooks poo about a week after I wo them. Each freaking time !
Any advice on how to get rid of them forever and not just a week ?
Should I treat them every week/2 weeks or hold and do it every month?
I don’t want to keep wasting eggs because of the withdrawal !
Thanks

Try using Valzaben
1 day then after 14 days
Then after every 6 months periods

Sometimes they become resistance to the wormer Albendazole is very good and board spectrum dewormer

I'm not a worm expert but those tapeworms can be tricky.

How many chickens do you have.

It’s summer where you are correct? How are the flies?
Do you have horses?
Are the fleas bad?

You treated, yes, but have you done anything to change the environment to make it inhospitable to whatever your intermediate host is?

This and treating again might help you break the lifecycle?

You’re right it is summer. Lots of flies, no fleas and no horses. I’ve spread some hydrated lime in the backyard like I’ve been told but doesn’t seem to do anything. My partner works on a golf course so has access to lots of insecticide. I might ask him to spray the whole backyard if that will help.
I’ve got 7 hens and 1 rooster. They free range all day.

I should note that I pick up their poop every day from the nesting boxes and the backyard
