CHICKEN WITH WORMS.. I did not know chicken got worms!!!

[championsumatra]

Ok I was reading the much earlier posts I was Just making sure to clear the air with that. The wormer I am using is called Trifen Plus wormer for chickens. it has the right amount for a chicken. what you do is you give large fowl two tablets wait 10 days and give them two more to kill the worm cycle. With bantams you should give them one wait ten days and give them one more.

Several years ago Trifen Plus had ivermectin and praziquantel, now I believe it has albendazole (Valbazen) and abamectin, I guess that's for mites?. IMNSHO, I think all animals should be weighed and doses accordingly. The most effective dose of albendazole (Valbazen) is 20mg/kg, that's ~.2ml per 2.2 pounds.

This is what I found on Trifen-Plus:

I have to say I don't know what the ingredients are but it works well.

If it has albendazole in, it's poisonous to pigeons and doves.

Interesting... I wonder why it's not mentioned in Plumb's? Maybe my edition is too old? Thanks for pointing that out!

I think It's ok for chickens. My chicken would have died a long time ago. I don't have any pigeons or doves so no worries there.
