I have 4 bantams (3 Seabrights and one Silkie) that are almost 3 months old. When should I start worming? I was going to use Valbazen. Any suggestions on how to measure .2 ml per bird and be sure it got in them? Thanks!

I've wormed my horses, never wormed a dog. Wormed cat once, but that was because he was an indoor cat, had a heavy infestation and was leaving bloody piles of them on the floor of my house. My chickens are not pets. I have them for eggs and meat, and I'd rather not have to worry about waiting however long before I can eat the eggs or meat after worming. My kids have grown up on the farm with all kinds of animals. They never got worms from them, either.Negative, but most of the posts I have read suggest twice a year. I have wormed dogs and horses - it only makes sense to worm chickens as well, especially since my kids are constantly playing with them and getting pooped on.
Another vote for not worming, sorry. Had birds for 20 years, never wormed a chicken. Never wormed a dog, either, and have way backed off worming my horses. My kids have grown up with all these animals and never had worms.
Then again, I've never wormed the kids either!![]()
