Unknown content in chicken excrement? Thoughts? WORM TREATMENT WITH 99% PURE POWDERED FENBENDAZOLE

[Ted Brown]

... but I was thinking something more along the lines of collecting the poop and sending it off to a lab or a vet.

I will see what I can find.

@casportpony @Wyorp Rock others?

Safeguard is 10% fenbendazole, i believe standard dosage is 0.25 ml per pound for five days? What is the low dosage dosage (I think I have seen .18 ml per pound but cannot find that now)?

Fenbendazole powder is 99% pure. Does that mean .025 ml per pound?

I will try to treat my birds orally with a syringe, how much water do I mix with how much powder to get the correct dosage?

Thank you!

Do you have a gram scale?

Do you have a gram scale?

Yes, digital for weighing eggs.

Also have .5 ml/3cc syringes.

Is it accurate enough to weigh less than 1 gram?

We will de-worm the whole flock.

Thanks

If you are near a feed mill you can use horse wormer which is easy to get here in Canada (heaven forbid they prevent us horse crazy people from access to our horse meds!).

I can get both ivermectin and fenbendazole which you can get from here:

I have purchased from this place many times - wormer, bug spray, horse blankets, etc.

Oh and I am one of ‘those’ people who worm regularly once a year in the Fall, after a summer of digging in the dirt eating yummy stuff.

I wormed a couple weeks ago and next day found roundworms in their poop, glad I do this it can’t be good for the poor pookies having worms.

Oh and I have just found that horse fly spray works awesome for lice (yep my gang has/had lice), I sprayed under both wings, behind their neck, on anyone with a beard in their beard and esp on their belly. Making sure it is sprayed at the skin level. Repeat in about 10-14 days.

Appears to be.

"Capacity 500 grams at .01 grams"

I measured two paper clips - 1 is .11 grams 2 .22 grams; 1 finishing nail is .18 2 is .37.
