Worms in the scat

[skipatc]

Looking to diagnose these thin white worms in my blue orpington's droppings. Any ideas on what this could be and/or suggestions on how to treat it?

Roundworms.

Wazine (Peperazine) is used to treat Roundworm infestations only. It is a liquid added to the drinking water and is the only source of water for 24 to 48 hours. 1 ounce of Wazine per gallon of water. Repeat in 10 to 12 days. There is a 14 day meat and egg withdrawal period for this product.

I would have puked too! LOL

I'm glad you are going to get them treated today.
Remember you gotta not eat eggs for a while too.

Does the 14 day withdrawal from eggs apply to both the initial treatment and the subsequent follow-up treatment done 10-12 days later?

Next time you bring birds home, that aren't newly hatched chicks...be sure to worm them the first day.
