I lost a bantam roo to gape worm, really isn't something you want to not treat. Treating them in their food works. When I worm I only put out min so they eat it all up that day.

I need a list of birds and their weights. Just a guess of their weights will be fine.

Okay, I think everyone out there is sufficiently pissed at me now. Kitchen scale in the bottom of a 5 gallon pail worked great for the chickens

7 chickens- 1 pound each
6 ducks- 3 pounds each (got one on the kitchen scale)

Edit: and thank you to everyone. I don’t feel so alone in this

They'll get over it with a handful of treats. lol

@casportpony I keep tagging you because I am not sure your getting tags.

7 pounds in chickens, 18 pounds in ducks = 25 pounds in flock.

25 / 2.2 x 50 / 100 = ~5.7 ml per day for all birds.

1. Set aside the amount of food the will eat in one day in a large mixing bowl or bucket.
2. Add 5.7 ml (okay to use one full teaspoon if you don't have a syringe) to about one or cups of water and stir well.
3. Add the the medicated water to the feed and stir well.
4. Add more water until feed is a nice mash and stir well.
5. Feed to birds.

Does that make sense?

Keep in mind that it might not be gapeworms and that it could be an infection or something in their environment.

A ml is 1 teaspoon?

Easy peasy! Thank you. I do have 1ml syringes so that’s not a problem. Very much appreciated. And I’ll keep an eye out if this has no effect, I’ll have to consider other possibilities.

Sure hope this is it. So easy to worm

 

[happy duck]

I might have missed this(or forgot),but what are you worming with? If so is it bad to worm your ducks just to get them cleaned out...not when they have worms?

I’m using safeguard 10% for goats, it’s a liquid. As far as I’ve gathered it’s pretty safe to use even just as a precaution from what I’ve read so far, but maybe someone more experienced will chime in
