Worming With Safeguard (Molting)

[Chcknjnky]

I began a treatment about 7 days ago. I did not think anyone was molting but I found one who is just beginning and another who is almost done growing in her feathers. That being said I was hoping to get some advice on if I should not do the 2nd treatment or if I should go ahead with it. I have read that it isn't good to use this product while they're molting. What do you all think?

The bird that is just about done with molt, you wont see any abnormal feather regrowth.
However, the other bird that just started molting, there's a good chance you could see abnormal feather regrowth.
This is why I prefer to use Valbazen instead of Safeguard.

These deformed feathers are dangerous to the bird?

No, just ugly depending how they grow out.

Ok thanks for the info I really appreciate it! I think I'll try and find the valbazen like you suggested. I searched around and can't find too many suppliers. Where did you buy yours?

Give 1/2ml orally to each chicken using a syringe without needle, repeat again in 10 days. Done.

Well I figured out why it was hard to find. For some reason nobody will ship this stuff to CA. Add this to the many reasons why I hate this state! I'm sure if I dig hard enough I'll find someone who will.
