Hi All,
I've had 3 chickens die in the last month, apparently from parasites which were confirmed in the most recently deceased hen, and the local avian vet says its time to deworm the flock.
I have Ivermectin Sheep Drench .08% solution and Safe-guard (fenbendazole) suspension 10% on hand here, as we have sheep and goats in residence.
I've seen posts in BYC about using these products to deworm the flock MIXED IN WATER or MASH. (I have 30 chickens, and would rather dose the flock in this way as many of the chickens are not very handleable).
Can you all please help clarify the exact dosage per GALLON of water for drinking, OR to make up water to make mash?
I've searched through threads until my eyes have glazed over and can't find what I need! I'd like to cut to the chase, as is said. Can anyone help????
Thank you!
