    Tape worms, I Believe?

    Ok, thank you! How often should I worm like this? Every Fall and Spring, once per year, or just as I see worms present? And to be clear, I should give only as much water as they take in per one day, correct? So if they only consume, say 3 gallons in a day, I should give 3 gallons with 3 tsp...

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    Oh wow, ok! Thank you!! Ok, so then to worm my 150 lbs of birds, I give 1 teaspoon per gallon regardless ... how many gallons should I give. Only the amount they would finish off in a day? How often should I treat my birds with this considering that I have tapeworm eggs in my environment, and a...

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    Thank you! It doesn't show the back of the product. I'm assuming that 1 teaspoon per gallon is for a certain amount of bird (ie: pounds). What about for 150 pounds of birds? How many teaspoons for that many pounds? I'm thinking I might need more than 1 bag of powder to do that many birds? It...

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    Ok, thank you! Do you know any specific product for dosing in the water? Like a specific powdered praziquantel product? Kiki recommend one, and it says to put it in 10 gallons of water & 48 days apart (obviously that's for fish). Do you know if that product is a good choice, or know of a...

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    Ok, I didn't know I should use the Equimax twice, now I know! Should I still dose twice now, considering I dosed twice 22 days apart? For the treatment in the water, do you by chance know the answer to any of my previous questions?

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    Was I supposed to dose the Equimax twice, or only once? I did Zimecterin Gold, and saw more tapeworms about 2 ¹/² - 3 weeks later and did a dose of Equimax 22 days after the Zimecterin Gold.

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    Ok, I saw tapeworms in a random poo when my bantams (the 53 birds) were roaming the outside area where they all get turns roaming. I have a very large amount of bugs around (mostly cockroaches, but also pill bugs, slugs, and beetles, and of course flies), so the chances of them eating bugs that...

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    Thank you! How do you dose it? I'll re-weigh them to check flock weight (since I added some birds). It should be around 150 lbs total. Do I dose twice? Like how normally it's dose twice 10 days apart. On the Equimax I only dosed once, because that's what I was under the impression was correct...

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    Thank you! Are you able to direct me to a specific product? I have 53 birds in my other coop, and want to do a preventative dose. And I want to do it in the water.

    Thank you! Is it Prazipro for Aquarium, in a 4-Ounce bottle? How much weight in chickens would that cover?

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    Wow, thank you so much! You rock! Thank you!! (I just bought the Equimax) On a side note, what is best for treating tapeworms in a large flock in the water specifically? Is it safeguard Aquasol?

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    Although, If I did the dose with a 20x, I believe it would look like this with the Equimax: 67.4÷2.2x20÷140.3 equalling 4.37 So technically I'd have enough to treat all 18 birds (weighing 67.4 lbs as a flock) at that bigger dose, right? What would you recommend?

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    I see you gave this equation: Equimax dose weight in pounds divided by 2.2, times 10, divide by 140.3 = dose in ml My equation for Zimecterin Gold was: 67.4÷2.2×20÷77.5=7.91 (with 7.35g in a tube). So, for the Equimax: If I did 67.4÷2.2x10÷140.3 that would equal =2.1836324759 (so 2.18) What...

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    In your equation, the dose is at 10 to 20 times the dose to get the correct dose for chickens, correct? That's why 67 lbs of chickens are getting what 1250 lbs of horse would get, is that right? So I'm saying instead of giving the dose at 20 times the amount, can I dose them at 10 times the...

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    Hello, 4 days ago I saw a poop with 2 tapeworms in it, and the next day I saw this! I'm going to buy Equimax when I go to the feed bin today. I had originally did the 20x dose with the Zimecterin gold 3 weeks ago. I only had enough to do 13 of the 18 birds though, at that dose. So I'm wondering...

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    I got Zimecterin Gold. I ended up doing the x 20 dose, so I had to skip 5 of the 18 birds. Would the x 10 dose have worked?

    Tape worms, I Believe?

    Ok, I definitely understand that. It's just when I read that they can be dosed at 10-20 times the dose, I figured it's a range (that works at either end of the spectrum).
