Topic of the Week - Deworming chickens

Hygromycin B and Wazine were the only wormers taken off the market. Valbazen, Levamisole and Pyrantel Pamoate are still available OTC. I miss the Wazine, it was a good large roundworm flush.

Good to know...but readers take note...it really depends on your local farm supply. Here in Oregon, they have gone very green. I can't find most of the stuff OTC that I used to in ANY store. I have to go to Amazon for some of it. I found Valbazen in the local feed store for cattle, in a huge $65 bottle, not really useful for birds. I can find the horse pastes (Ivermectin, Pyrantel). Often I go to Amazon now to find what I need.

Agreed, hygromycin and Wazine are gone with the regs.

Here's where I buy Valbazen, 500ml bottle lasts a long time and I worm 20 birds monthly.

I'm sorry to her that you have restrictions. Can you find Safeguard liquid goat wormer? That's another excellent wormer for chickens.
