I have a lethargic chicken that is refusing to eat and has runny stinky poo. I got some safeguard dewormer because another chicken was making squeaky noises and I thought I would treat for all the worms, gapeworm included. I am going to treat the whole flock for 5 days at .25ml per pound given orally. My questions are:
1. Do I stop eating eggs starting on the first day of treatment and then 14 days after day 5 of treatment?
2. How long until my sick one shows improvement if it is worms?
3. Do I need to give a redose after the 5 consecutive days? Or will the 5 days kill all the worm eggs?
Thanks for the help this us my first flock and at this point it might be my last. I am way too attached.
