Worming with Valbazen

So what would the dosage be for Runner ducks, Rouen and Mallards? And does it have to be given individually or can you put it in their water ??? Try catching Runner ducks !!! They have that name for a reason !!

Honestly, I don't know a thing about ducks, but i would guess the dose is much the same as for chickens; basically it's weight related, just as it is for people. Unfortunately you'll have to catch them and dose them individually. you can't add it to water because it won't mix evenly. With chickens this isn't so hard if you do it at night, off the roost. Still a project, especially if you have a lot of chickens, but doable- and easier with a helper.

I just noticed on another thread for peafowl valbazen can be mixed in water 4-5cc per gallon. Think it said to stir a couple times a day ??

Why would you want to dilute its effectiveness? Also, adding wormers in water is useless. How will you know they will drink it, or enough of it to ve effective? They wont.

Well, I guess just to make it a bit easier to do

If they were not allowed to free range and it was there only water source I would think would be better then nothing but I do see your point !!

I'll try to get DH help me, that is probably a bigger challenge then catching the peafowl !!!

So do I only need to give them one dose of valbazen to clear them up?

Redose them again 10 days later to kill larva hatched from eggs missed by the first dosing.

CityChicker, before you use Valbazen, you'll first want to get some Wazine from TSC and kill all the round worms in your chickens. Valbazen will kill ALL worms, but killing roundworms and others at the same time more than likely will overload your chickens' ability to dispose of them from their overloaded system. That could kill your chickens.

WORMING YOUR CHICKENS - FROM THE GOSPEL of JAMES (Chapter dawg53 1-2-3)
*****
1. W
- two ounces in two gallons of water for one day - dump eggs for two weeks
*****
...Ten days later:
2. Valbazen -one half cc/ml for standard size chickens, one quarter cc/ml for smaller chickens including silkies. You can use an oral syringe to squirt it down their throats individually or you can inject it into a small piece of bread and give each chicken a piece of bread....they gobble it up. - dump the eggs for two weeks
*****
3. ...after a couple of days of using each of both wormers....give your chickens plain yogurt or buttermilk(probiotics), canned beef cat food (extra protein) with scrambled eggs all mixed in their feed and give it to them to build up their immune systems, do this about 3 days in a row. Then you'll have healthy, happy chickens lol.
The next time you worm,say in about 6 months or whenever you see fit...you can use the Valbazen first, no need to use the Wazine 17 unless you want to. Please PM anytime and I'll be happy to help you with worming. Jim.
______________________________________________________
Making buttermilk (joebryant):
Mine love it, and its lactic acid and bacteria culture is super healthy for them and YOU.
I make it a gallon at a time:
Buy a quart of buttermilk, pour it into a large container with a gallon of milk. Let the five quarts sit at room temperature for 24 hours, stirring occasionally, and you'll have five quarts. Save a quart to use with another gallon of milk later.
BTW, buttermilk will keep for a very long time in the refrigerator.
Store in a glass container(s).

Quote: So let me see if I have this right.

1. Wazine17 first.
2. Ten days later Valbazen.
3. Ten days later second dosage of Valbazen.
4. Withhold using eggs until 2 weeks after second dosage of Valbazen.


Is this correct?

Times have changed. Valbazen first, redose again in 10 days w/ valbazen. Two weeks withdrawal after last dose.
