How much does she weigh?

The dose is 0.0176 ml per 100 grams.

Is that in water one day or ?

My bad, , that's orally once and repeat in ten days. This should treat most worms. Some worms, like gapeworms, require 3 consecutive days.

Thanks. In your experience is there an easier way to treat 50 birds in 5 flocks with valbazen drench in drinking water? Or is oral dispensing the only reliable way?

Some people put it in water, though I'm not sure how water soluble it is, and some make a mash with it.

Best way of course would be to catch and give orally.

I don't think you can use Valbazen well in water, pretty sure it doesn't suspend. You might be able to make a wet mash with a small portion of feed if you knew the right amount to use.

That's my concern too, but one of the peafowl breeders I know does his own fecals and claims it's effective in the water.

Dose in food is easy, it's weight of flock in pounds, divide by 2.2, times 20, divide by 113.6. Add this to the amount of food to be consumed in 24 hours, mix well, and it should work.
