Wazine and SafeGuard schedule? How old?

[Albanese07]

I bought Wazine and Safeguard; for worming do I use the Wazine first 7.5 ml per quart of water , do this for 24 hours. Then in 10 days use the SafeGuard 2.25 ml per gallon of water for 3 days; repeat in 10 days.
Is this correct?
My pullets are only 6 weeks old and 1 week old, 2 of each age. Is it too early? One of my pullets had black runny poop so I'm thinking she has worms.
Thanks for any info!

You are correct on the wazine dosage, 7.5ml per quart.
As far as the safeguard liquid goat wormer dosage; administer orally to each chicken undiluted. Dosage is; 1cc for giants, 3/4cc for large fowl, 1/2cc for standard size, 1/4cc for samller birds....cc's are the same as ml's.
If I were you, forget the wazine and just use the safeguard, then redose them 10 days later with the safeguard again. Dont bother worming your 1 week old birds. The 12 week old birds should get 1/4cc.
Here's the poop chart for you to take a look at:

Sorry, I misread the 6-7 week olds, dont know why I stated 12 week olds. I'd wait til they are at least 10-12 weeks old before you worm them.
