Safeguard - 0.23 ml per pound. Probably okay to round up to 0.25 ml per pound.
Valbazen - 0.08 ml per pound. Probably okay to round up to 0.1 ml per pound.

2.2 ml and 1.5 ml is too much. Which wormer do you have?

-Kathy

Valbazen. I must have read this thread wrong then. So it's 0.08 ml per pound? So .16 for 2 pounds and maybe .12 for a pound and a half?

Yes, that is correct! It's quite safe, so probably okay to round up a little.

Perfect! So glad I double checked! It was pretty funny seeing my fluffy silkies sitting on my bathroom scale!

Is it recommended to dispose of the eggs during this worming process? I'm assuming the process is complete after 20 days?

Thanks

Hi Kathy, Have you ever heard of Nilverm for worming. I am worming over 100 birds and would like to have something I can put in water. Thanks

looks like it's just levamisole, so it should work.

Anybody know if a different way to give the chickens the Valbazen? I am scared to shove the syringe down there throat fearful of going down the wrong tube. I've read of people soaking a dose in a small piece of bread. Some of my chickens readily eat the pieces and others do not care for it. Anybody have any different suggestions?
