Deworming Roundworm Advice

[bakhbakhchicken123]

Found 3 roundworms in my silkie's poop. I purchased a Safeguard dewormer that kills the roundworms, but it's currently in the shipping. In the mean time, I administered homeovet Avian WRM clear (Attached below) in the last 24 hours. I haven't seen any worms come out since, so I am not sure if I should keep going or not. Instructions are unclear- please advise me on whether I should do another round today. Also how long do I wait after I recieve Safeguard to officially kill the worms- I'm sure theres a break period between the dewormer and the pesticide.

@casportpony , can you help?

It is a product that is used in the "support" of worm removal. I see nothing in the product that would eliminate worms.

I agree with above, I don't think it will hurt anything, but I don't think it will get rid of the worms either. I would treat with the Safeguard as soon as you get it, whether or not you use the herbal product.

Can someone tell me at what age, how often & what natural dewormer should be used? I have not found a lot of information that covers these questions. Sorry, I don't mean to hijack anybody's page but this site has changed and will not let me make my own page asking these questions

It depends on your circumstances. I personally have never wormed a single chicken here, and never would unless I find some. Routine worming causes resistance to wormers, so only worm when, and if necessary.

You should be able to go to the forum you wish to start a thread in and there should be a big green "post thread" button on the top right.
