IDK because I don't have those birds. Wazine is specifically made for chickens / fowl. If you read the label it should list any fowl related restrictions. The label can be found online...Just do a google search.

Here's a couple of links I came across regarding dosing for Fenbendazole & Ivermectin.

I found the one on poultrypedia to be very complete and helpful.

Hi, I'm a new member and a relatively newish backyard chicken herder. Thanks for posting all of this info about worms/deworming. So I noticed what I think are capillary worms yesterday and went out to buy Safeguard in liquid form after reading many, many posting on BYC (there seems to be a lot of information/misinformation to wade through). I also purchased but didn't administer Wazine. I administered 3cc/ml of the Safeguard in 1 gallon of water today and understand that I need to re-administer again in 10 days. I have a few questions that I hope some of you seasoned chicken people can help me with:

1. Do I need to constrain or change their food intake in any way?
2. If I notice that this doesn't work, should I try administering it undiluted and orally at some later date?
3. Do I give them access to this diluted dose for one-day only and then repeat in 10 days from today; or do I wait until they've consumed all of the water and then repeat 10 days after that water is consumed?
4. Is there anything else I might look out for?

Many thanks!
Melissa

Since it has been several months since I last wormed the chickens with fenbendazole (I use the liquid goat wormer stuff), I did an internet search for dosage and egg withdrawal for chickens. I was happy to find this March 2014 announcement on the Merck animal health website:

Quote: Here is the link to the entire article: http://www.merck-animal-health.com/news/2014-3-24.aspx

In doing some web research last time I used it, which was the first time too, I found several scientific research pages that basically said you can't easily overdose an animal on this stuff. So I was comfortable with the idea that it was pretty harmless except to parasites. To find out that there is no withdrawal period for eggs is the icing on the cake. Fenbendazole saved my rooster who had a bad infestation of gapeworm that developed over the winter. It is good stuff. I hope the FDA approves fenbendazole for chicken use in this country soon.

I have read almost every post on this thread and I am thoroughly confused (not difficult)

I live in Hungary and the only dewormer I have been able to buy is Fenbendazol 5% granules.

I want to either mix it in to their feed in the morning, as this is the best time I can supervise and make sure that everyone gets some.

Please, can someone tell me how much in weight or spoons I should mix with how much in weight of food.

I assume I should repeat in 10 days.

Thanks
