Wormy Chickens

If your chickens become wormy grate some garlic or use powdered garlic in the water to cure them. Not a lot of it but it will help them.

Thank you for posting.

I would suggest that if your chickens are wormy, it would be best to use an anthelmintic like Fenbendazole (Safeguard) or Albendazole (Valbazen) to deworm them.

To treat Roundworms Only - Safeguard dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days.

To treat most worms that poultry can have except for Tapeworm - Safeguard dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.

Valbazen dose is 0.08ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days.

Garlic is only a mild anthelmintic. in the doses it takes to work at all, it will be very toxic, even deadly to chickens.
