Using bread when deworming?

[Kiki]

Hmm, so I guess if the bread doesn't work I'll need to just do it the old-fashioned way...

Keep them locked up. Take one out at a time.. so they don't right over the bread/so you can keep track of who you give it to

Your chicken might scarf up the bread no problem, worth a try. Mine had never had bread before and were not fooled..

Well in that case, mine will probably be fine. Usually bread is their favorite snack.

So here's what I've got:
Babies are all around 2 lb
RIR(x2): 6 lb
BPR: 6 lb
WPR(x2): 7.5 lb
Welsummer: 4.5 lb
Cochin: 8 lb
Polish: 4.5 lb
Sumatras(x3): 4 lb
Egyptian: 3.5 lb
EE: 4.5 lb
The x2 and x3 is just to show how many I have of that breed
Like I said, I'll need to wait until tonight to weigh my roo

2 pounds get 0.06 ml
2.5 pounds get 0.08 ml
3 pounds get 0.1 ml
3.5 pounds get 0.11 ml
4 pounds get 0.13 ml
4.5 pounds get 0.15 ml
5 pounds get 0.16 ml
5.5 pounds get 0.18 ml
6 pounds get 0.19 ml
6.5 pounds get 0.21 ml
7 pounds get 0.23 ml
7.5 pounds get 0.24 ml
8 pounds get 0.26 ml
8.5 pounds get 0.28 ml
9 pounds get 0.29 ml
9.5 pounds get 0.31 ml
10 pounds get 0.32 ml

The formula use is:
Pounds divide by 2.2, x 10, divide by 140.3. Okay to round up a little.

That chicken praziquantel dose according to several veterinary references is 10 mg/kg (~4.54 mg per pound)

Your paste contains 140.3 mg praziquantel per one ml.

The .06 ml dose might be hard for you to measure out on your current thing...brain fart I can't think of what that is called.
Usually the pharmacies will give you free a smaller one if you ask.

Eyedropper or syringe?

Here is a visual on how small the blobs will be:From left to right:
Small = 0.1 ml
Medium = 0.25 ml
Large = 0.5 ml
The blob above the grain of rice is 0.025 ml

Syringe!
Thank you.
I couldn't figure that word out for the life of me right now.
I'm blaming it on the heat.
