I will send a photo in a bit when I get back inside!Can you post some pictures of the droppings?
Can you post a picture of the label of the Safeguard you used? I'm not familiar with that particular form and want to make sure on the dosing. Correct dosing of fenbendazole is 10 - 50 mg per kg of body weight. I don't know how much is in each mg of the powder you used. It's pretty safe, so a little too much won't likely hurt her, but under dosing can lead to resistant parasites.
It was the correct dosing I made sure it confirm this on multiple accounts and was recommended this method by a local silkie breeder. The packets come with 222 mg powder.
Each hen is about 5 lbs with my heaviest at 6 lbs. they all got around 100-120 mg (I read that it should be about 150 mg for a 5 lb hen but the powder is a bit more concentrated it seems but maybe not) for 5 days
I may do a round of aquasol in the water to be safe in 10 days as opposed to the initial dosing being individually administered to rid of the worms entirely. What do u think?
