Dawg,
I administered 1/2 cc of Valbazen orally to all of my hens on Thursday. Today, they are all acting peppy, and the one hen that was really sick looks so much better. I am so grateful for your suggestion! I plan to dose them again after 10 days. Will that be sufficient? Or should I also do a third dose ten days after the second dose?
Also, as a regular de-worming practice, do you recommend the Valbazen every 6 months or so?
Thanks again!
Redose them in 10 days, that's all that's needed. How often you worm them is up to you. Your soil conditions dictate how often you should worm. If you live where your soil is warm/moist most of the year, or rains alot...consider worming twice, maybe 3 times a year. Here where I live, I've wormed my birds every 3 months sometimes sooner. Cool/mountainous or desertlike soil may only require once a year or longer wormings. The bottom line is that if their feet touch the ground, they'll get worms eventually.
