Gapeworm safeguard paste dose

[nrg2707]

hi,
I’m giving my chicken Safeguard Equine Dewormer 25 g Paste 10%
For suspected gapeworm. I understand I give a pea size but for how many days? Thank you!

You dose it by ml per pound, which is 0.23 ml per pound (about 1.15ml per average size bird.)
What are you seeing that makes you suspect gapeworm?

She has been more sleepy for like 3 days then every few min. She will stretch her neck out and open her mouth. She hardly has been making any noise too.

That doesn't look like gapeworm. What's her age, diet? Is she laying?

Yes, get an oral syringe from a pharmacy, just ask.

She is about 14 weeks old, not laying. Feeding her natures best organic chick starter/ grower crumbles. She will also wonder our yard so maybe she ate something there? Her comb is pale but it’s always been like that since we got her. I checked for mites and lice and it doesn’t look like she has any. I’m just stuck
