Worming advice. Chickens not taking to the water.

[RESQME49]

I got wormout gel and used today as day one. I used 47ml in a gallon and I’m pretty sure not a single bird drank it. I am going to see how they do tomorrow but I’m sure it will be the same. If they do not drink any, or near enough, am I ok to hit them with some panacur (fenbendazole)? If so, how much do I use of the horse syringe? Average sized hens (isa browns, rhode reds and smallest is an americauna).

Yes, they won't take you know worming medicine is very bitter and chickens can taste bitter even when i deworm i give direct in beak via a dropper and give some water on the medicine

or you can mix your wormer with a small slice of bread

afterwards give water to avoid bitterness

You can use Safeguard liquid goat wormer. Dosage is given orally to each chicken, 1/4cc per pound of weight for five days. A 3cc syringe without needle will work.
Or you can use Valbazen. Dosage is 1/2cc orally, repeat again in 10 days.

Ok. Valbazen treats tapes? Is it ok to stop the other wormer now and then use valbazen or safe guard?

How about the panacur horse paste?

How about the panacur horse paste?

If you're dealing with tapeworms, I highly recommend Equimax equine paste.

I’d like To stay away from ivermectin.

Everything I have read about ivermectin says lifetime withdrawal of eggs. Having just had the chickens go through roughly half gallon of wormout gel ( prazantiquel and oxfendazole) would it be ok to treat with Valbazen today or tomorrow? Just with it being so close together? I gave them the mixed water yesterday and dumped the remaining today. I do not know which ones got how much of it.

Or the panacur horse paste? ( Fenbendazole ). Not sure the dosage for that?

I have never heard of lifetime withdrawal from ivervectin. What does that mean exactly. A lot of people use it
