How to deworm a flock of chickens?

[casportpony]

Okay, I have not looked at dosage, yet, but I will later today and get back with you. Thanks!

If you are positive that you don't have capillary worms, you can give a really low dose for five consecutive days with a zero-day egg withdrawal. That dose will treat roundworms & cecal worms only, it will not treat capillary worms. I did a thread that explains how to dose a flock by putting it in a mash:

Safeguard Mash - Zero Day Egg Withdrawal​

@KsKingBee, who does his own fecals, does this:

For large groups of birds, 20 ml per gallon made fresh daily. Give for two days and repeat in ten to fourteen days will kill round and cecal worms. To kill all types of worms give for five days and repeat for five more days within two weeks.

Dosing in mash is brilliant! Thank you! I feed them soaked feed every day, so that would definitely be the easiest/best option!

I heard that there's a possibility of finding worms in the eggs. Is that true?

I've seen pictures of it.

Spoiler: Worm

Okay, thank you. I sell eggs to some of my friends, so I'll talk to them about if they are willing to risk finding that.

I ran my calculations based on your advice. This is so much easier than I expected!

This is the way we have been deworming in wet mash for the last seven years or longer.
