Note yellow thin dry looking strand on left side

This was found beside a separate 'poop'. It is dry and doesn't appear to be a live worm.

Great pictures! Those are large roundworms. If you want to get rid of them & eat the eggs during treatment, try this:

@casportpony Thanks.

Access to treatments in Canada is through vets, usually expensive. I bought a smattering of treatments at Tractor Supply in the US.

I have fenbendazole from Fenben LAB. powder form 99% purity. We plan to treat the birds orally and would prefer to use a regime that would allow continued consumption of the eggs (5 days low dose, 2nd single on the 10th day following; is that 10 days following the 5th day dose?). I did see @jthornton post on using wet mash and seems attractive...

Mix instructions for the powder form would be very helpful. Also any other comments, suggestions.

That will work.

(5 days low dose,

Perfect.

2nd single on the 10th day following; is that 10 days following the 5th day dose?).

No, do not do any single-day low doses. If you want, repeat the five days in 10-14 days after the fifth day.

Mix instructions for the powder form would be very helpful.

Do you have a gram scale that you can weigh the powder on? 99% purity means that there are 999 mg of fenbendazole in 1 gram of the powder.

Yes, digital for weighing eggs.

A gram is 1,000 mg, so 99% purity would be 990 mg in 1 gram.

My bad, I fixed my error.
