It is AquaSol, which is a water soluble 200 mg/ml fenbendazole. It is approved for use in laying hens for treating large roundworms and cecal worms only. Because other worms, like capillary and tapes require *much* larger doses, it is not approved to treat those worms.

Approved dose for large roundworms and cecal worms is 1 mg/kg for five consecutive days.

I just got the email from Dr. Fulton about Aquasol; here it is, I hope.

Are you sure we can trust it is really truly safe? I'm truly concerned with the appointments made under our current administration in relation to Consumer Protection/Safety related issues.

I am not trying to make this political. I just have some concerns. I'll trust this product if it passes muster with the EU and WHO.

wonderful thank you

It's been approved for use in several other countries, where things are managed well, so I think it will be fine. Like all medications, there can be side effects, so following directions pays off.
And there's no reason to worm chickens without knowing what parasites, if any are actually present!

Just to cite a recently in the news case, WHO is being threatened with US funding withdrawals as they list Monsanto's Roundup as a carcinogen. The FDA still refuses to do so. The EU, Germany and Britian are on board with it being either environmentally unsound or carcinogenic.

In a perfect world, many things would be more perfect, but that's not the world we live in. I'd use fenbendazole, per label directions, before Roundup any day. Weeds are our friends (at least in the yard).

Yep I like my weeds too! Especially down here where we have so many unique and rare butterfly types and exotic moths too! Not to mention many of those larva are non toxic and can bloom in great numbers for the birds, saves me on lawn mowing time.

Apologies for those of you who have seen this photo before, but this event is what finally convinced my chicken to leave the run and get to free ranging!

It's been approved for use in the UK since 2014.
