Worming with Safeguard Goat Wormer

Did you have Any problems with infertility from the ferbendazole

We deworm our flock prior to the breeding season in March and again in September, we have not noticed any infertility problems and have been told by other peafowl breeders that they have not had any problems when deworming mid-season using SG or Valbazen.

But any chicken breeders? ‍

It's also a host for the cecal worm, which can carry blackhead and is very dangerous to peafowl and turkeys.

Note: 3 cc per gallon will not treat them.

I know this is a random reply to a very old post, but I am just very overwhelmed by all the different things that I’m reading and you seem to be a good, dependable source of knowledge here. I noticed round worms in some poop in my chicken coop. In years past, I have treated with ivermectin, but did not feel like doing the individual doses on my 35 birds at the moment, so I thought I would try the safeguard goat dewormer I have. I read multiple places 3 cc per gallon of water for five days. I am on day four of that. I was looking into it again because I couldn’t remember if I needed to do an egg withdrawal for the safeguard or not and now I’m seeing a bunch of information saying that 3 cc per gallon is not enough to treat the worms. Help! Please!

The 'three CC to a gallon of water' is bogus information as SG is not water soluble although there is a water soluble version out now that is terribly expensive and hard to dose correctly. We do not concern ourselves with egg withdrawal because we don't eat pea eggs and have found it does not interfere with egg development.
