Wormer dose

[Jschult1]

You will not hurt them doing it, but if you aren't comfortable doing it, that's okay. I suggest you de-worm them by feeding them a mash. If your 9 girls are average sized laying hens I suggest you make a mash with the medication in it.

• Set aside the amount of pellets or crumble they eat in a day
• Mix 10 ml of Safeguard in 1 cup of warm water and stir well
• Add water to the crumbles until it's wet enough that you can make balls of it
• Add the one cup of medicated water and stir well
• Add more warm water and stir well.

Do this five days in a row.

Thank you.

I spent the better part of Monday trying to determine the type of worm. I feel pretty sure it’s NOT tapeworm. Other than that, idk. They don’t look big enough to be roundworms, and I can only see them in the liquid part of the poo. They are visible to the naked eye, maybe 1/2 in long, thin white worms. And gross, they’re gross.

they might be small large roundworms.

I know this is from while ago, but hoping it might alert you. How long should you withhold the eggs after this dose? Thanks!

How many hens do you have, how much do they weigh, and what worms do you want to treat?

Oh, I have already wormed them, I am just curious how long I should hold the eggs.
