Deworming flock

[Themellowyellows]

Hey guys!

I found worms in my chickens poop so I decided on deworming them for all worms, im doing 0.23 ml per pound. Stupid me only got one bottle, and I ran out. I ordered it off of amazon and the earliest I can get it is monday. At TSC, they have fenbenazole for dogs and horses, is there a diffrent dossage and can I use it? Thanks!

I think you should be fine til monday. If you want you can get some cayenne powder or hotter and add it to their food. Or you can look up other natural wormers. They won't work as fast or aggressively but that can be a good thing.

Not 100% with chickens, but with dogs for example and heartworms, if the parasites have really progressed, too fast of a die off can make things worse for the dog.

Three days shouldn't make a difference unless you have the chickens starting to act differently from being overwhelmed from malnutrition and other stuff from the parasites. If the chickens are acting normally, you should be more than fine to wait.


Just be sure to act extra carefully for sanitation re: your shoes, clothing, hands, etc and the area where the chickens forage.

Just wait for the Amazon delivery and pick up where you left off worming your birds.
Dont go the natural route, that stuff doesnt work. Been there done that many years ago.

I just picked up goat fenben can I just use that?

Yes. I've used Safeguard liquid goat wormer many times. It's an excellent wormer.

Safeguard Liquid Goat Dewormer (10%) dose is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days in a row.
This will treat most worms that poultry can have except for Tapeworms.
