I recommend you reworm your chickens 10-14 days after using the wazine with a broad spectrum wormer to kill large roundworms the wazine missed as well as their larva and other types of worms such as cecal worms, capillary worms etc....Wazine only gets rid of large roundworms. There will be no "hit and miss" using a second wormer. If you treat past the the 14th day, you're possibly giving the roundworms another chance to reproduce...it would have been a waste of time and money worming them the first time.
There is a warning that states not to medicate prior to slaughter within 14 days. If they are good to eat after the 14th day, so are the eggs. If you decide to eat the eggs prior to the 14th day, there is always the possibility of a reaction to the piperazine residue in the eggs no matter how minute the quantity is.
VermX might help as a preventative, but it is not a wormer...here are its ingredients: Garlic, quassia, cayenne, slippery elm, cinnamon. thyme, peppermint. A true wormer such as Safeguard equine paste (fenbendazole) or Safeguard liquid goat wormer are much cheaper to purchase. Valbazen (albendazole) kills all known worms that chickens can get.
Where can one find the Valbazen? What would the product be called ? I just wormed for definite round worms with wazine and will pull that water today so it will have been used for 24 hrs. Now in 10 days, I would like to give the Valbazen. What are the cautions for eating the eggs using the Valbazen? Does using organic vinegar in the drinking water on a regular basis help with parasites?
