I'll do the math again, 'cause I might be wrong, but last time I did it came out to 47 ml per gallon for the non-pigeon dose.

47ml per gallon is correct.

From what little I know about pigeons and wormers like oxfendazole, Fenbendazole, and albendazole is that when using these drugs you must be careful. I suspect that the chicken dose when using this product will be at least twice what it is for pigeons.

The smallest bottle of Workout Gel (1.7 oz) will treat 1 gallon of water.

Nah, you're not confused. Some folks are in denial, that's the hard truth. All they have to do is to look at the direct and indirect lifecycle of nematodes and cestodes, that should be reason enough to worm birds. Generally the thought is that their birds dont have worms unless they see them in feces.
Why would a parasite leave its host when they are fat and happy sucking the life out of the bird? When a bird excretes a worm or two, what is the damage to the intestinal lining? Does it effect nutrient absorption for the health of the bird?
They dont think about worms in this manner. Then they wonder why their birds get sick creating a new set of problems, the root cause being worms...which I wont get into at this time lol.

Thanks for the explanation. I can see why that would be a debated topic.
Do the wormers you use have an egg withdrawal? How would you avoid that with a monthly worming?

Almost all wormers have an egg withdrawal.
Most all wormers are used off label for chickens so there is no real set time for the withdrawal.
Some people wait two weeks some people wait one day.
It is a personal preference.

So I’m assuming if someone did a monthly routine worming on their laying flock, they wouldn’t wait very long if at all to eat the eggs. Hmm.

This is where I got the info about the Wormout Gel 100 ml bottle which treats or makes 4 gallons of medicated water for pigeons. (The dosage for aviary birds is 1/2 of that)
