What are your favorite wormers?

I use Valbazen (albendazole). They have to be dosed individually, but the time and effort is worth it to me. Valbazen gets just about every type of worm a chicken can get.

My vet has told me not to waste my time with ivermectin anymore. It's overuse as a wormer in chickens has created a resistance to it in parasites. Also, ivermectin should not be given during a molt, said to cause feather deformities. There is no such restriction with the Valbazen.

I try to go as natural as possible with my pets, including the chickens, but I take no chances with worms.

 

dawg53 has done lots of posts on worming; what to use and frequency. Check for some of his posts. He is very thorough, detailed and patient.

And everything I learned about wormers I learned from Dawg.
