Worming Ducks?

[lillypad268]

Hey everyone, I have two chickens, two ducks and a peacock and I am going to have to worm the peacock soon and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on worming them all?
I can separate them and worm individually if need be but it will result in some irritated birds (especially Polly, she doesn't take crap from anyone... she chased a cat out of our yard today)

I personally would just worm everyone at one time. Will you be using a liquid dewormer for their waterer?

I have safeguard and planned to use that unless I find out that there is a better wormer... (doing my research before using anything)

Typically, you should only worm them if you have a reason to (ie: seeing worms, behavior, etc). The one thing you need to be careful with if you use a wormer that is added to water is that ducks drink much more water than other poultry. Most medications that are added to water for chickens, turkeys, etc could potentially cause an overdose in ducks because they drink so much more.
