Papaya seeds

[Chicklove4ever]

Hi i need to deworm my chickens. I want to use papaya seeds. I know your supposed to make a powder out of them but i wanted to know if raw seeds will still be as effective at deworming my flock??

I would not count on the seeds or powder to be effective at anything other than the vitamins/minerals they contain.

Yes, goat and cattle dewormers are what I've seen mentioned here. Determining what worm you are targeting is important.

Could you be of help with worming?

Safeguard liquid goat wormer and Valbazen liquid cattle/sheep wormer are very safe wormers for chickens.
I've been using them for a very long time as well as other off label wormers.
Safeguard and Valbazen are broad spectrum wormers and will eliminate all types of poultry roundworms but wont treat tapeworms.
A different wormer containing praziquantel would be needed to treat tapeworms.
Tapeworms are easy to identify in feces, showing rice-like segments in the feces.
