Where can I get Meldane feed ?

I noticed some worms in droppings.
Plan on using Wazine and following up with Meldane feed as I have seen several recommendations as such?

Where can I purchase this? Is there a brand name?

You would be better off using Valbazen. Dosage is 1/2cc given orally to each chicken and redose in 10 days.

can I use fenbendazole instead? It seams to be more cost effective. Found little white worms in droppings over the weekend.

Yes, Fenbendazole is a very good wormer. I also use it and rotate with Valbazen and Pyrantel Pamoate. It sounds like you're dealing with cecal worms. Fenbendazole will kill them as well as large roundworms and capillary worms.

I am concerned if they are tape worms. will Equimax take care of all types?

Here's what tapeworm segments look like in chicken poop. Each segment you see carries hundreds of eggs. Insects eat the eggs, chickens eat the infected insect and the tapeworms lifecycle starts all over again inside the chicken. Equimax will kill tapeworms.
