wazine

I'm trying to worm my chickens. I've never wormed them before and I really only want to give it to a group of 4 how would I fix up a batch for just them. It says per 100 birds to give 2fl oz in 2 gal. I've got close to 100 birds but I know I water out more than 2 gal when I water them all and their not all together. I'm probably makin this harder than it is but I'm having a major blonde moment?

Just mix 2 tablespoon= 1oz per gallon and mix up as much as you need. 2 oz is 4 tablespoons for 2 gallon

I also have a question regarding wazine.
I just wormed with it for the first time; added 2 tablespoons to 1 gal of water.
How long do I leave that water in their pen? One pen emptied their water in two days so they now have fresh water but a couple of pens still have some of the wazine water left, it has been three days, is it safe to empty and give fresh water now?
Also, I read that we had to not consume the ggs for two weeks after worming with wazine. I hate to wast this many eggs are they safe to boil and feed back to the chickens or should I discard them completely?
thanks!

I was told that the amount of Wazine passed on to the eggs is so insignificant that it is almost impossible for it to affect you adversely.

I ate mine and am still alive, although I do glow a little in the dark now.

thats what I was thinking . . . considering we eat at Mcdonalds i figured it probably wouldn't hurt us. Do yu or anyone else know if it would be ok to incubate eggs that were laid the week after worming with Wazine?

If I remember correctly, you CAN incubate those eggs that were laid even while the hen were being wormed...someone correct me if I am wrong.

You are correct, Sulmet on the other hand, hatchablity is affected for up to three weeks after use
