Wazine wormer WARNING! - UPDATE

[Blisschick]

You know, this could be the answer to an issue I had earlier this year. I had a few eggs develop with the brain exposed, malformed, etc. I even had a Siamese chick with one head! I'll know better next time. I guess I'll go ahead and worm mine the first week of February so I can have good eggs by March.

So glad that as a 'newbie' I could help! And....I am thrown though...by the Siamese comment....there aren't really 2 headed chickens are there? You're totally pulling my leg, right?

I've seen embryos with two bodies, two heads, with their heads folded over their hearts, with multiple eyes, and misshapen body parts. Thing is, most of these will never make it near term so you don't normally see it. Thoes blood rings in eggs... yeah, they had a problem and self terminated.

As with all drugs, it does something and even if well characterized, there will be side effects, both known and unknown.

I use DE for myself, my chickens and dogs. A natural herbal parasite wormer I use is a Parasite Cleanse Tinture, it contains Cloves, Green Hull of the Black Walnut, Quassia and Wormwood. You can research these herbs and incorporate all or some of them in your worming routine at a very affordable cost and a natural cleansing which is less toxic and harsh on their system. And adding raw apple cider vinegar to their drinking water.

Quassia has been used for centuries as an effective vermifuge, an agent that kills and expels worms in the intestines (especially roundworms) and nematodes. Used externally as a lotion, it kills parasites, such as lice.

Black Walnut Hull is a powerful astringent and anti-fungal herb that is used for expelling worms, parasites, candida, canker sores, cold sores, fungus, tuberculosis, herpes, eczema and is a mild laxative.

Cloves kill intestinal parasites and exhibits broad anti-microbial properties against fungi and bacteria, thus supporting its traditional use as a treatment for diarrhea, intestinal worms, and other digestive ailments. Like many culinary spices, Cloves helps relax the smooth muscle lining of the digestive tract.

Wormwood has been used medicinally to expel intestinal worms for over 3500 years. Use caution when using wormwood.

So, as promised here's the update on the 12/1 hatch, which was from days 7, 8 and 9 (I think) on Wazine.
- Of 12 eggs set 5 were fully developed & were just dead (I did not check them for deformities)
- 1 was obviously alive well into week 2 and died.
- 1 hatched & is alive & well
- 1 hatched & is alive & has reminants of what the three below exhibit, so I *think* it *might* make it.
- 1 is still working on it's way out (scared of what I will see) and the other 3 are below ---

Next Sat. hatch is after the 14 days is up, so I expect much better results, but that is the last hatch I plan to do for a good, LONG, time.

Hey, good to know...my 3 posted may be an incubation fault...and may be salvagable...!
I *think* my 3 yr old tried 'helping' with the temp so that could be what happened. Good thing is NO exposed brains this time.

well. it clearly say eggs not for comsumtion after a certain amout of days, that clerly mean that the eggs have the wormer chemical in them so i dont get why you tried to hatch them any ways ? i use wasine but wait a month to use eggs for hatching.

 

[tx_dane_mom]

I forget who it was but it seems someone on here had told me they thought it would be safe to set & hatch them, just not to eat the meat. I guess if I had sat down & thought about it & rationalized it enough, the whole poison factor would have hit me...but I just took the word of someone I thought knew more than me. I am just posting this for people who are now in the footsteps I was in then. That's all.
