Dewormer

[Mamagirl3]

From reading the discussions of dewormers in the section "managing your flock" i purchased the safe-guard dewormer for horses (fenbendazole).
Now i am unsure about the dosage and how to measure the tiny amount needed for my chickens from this syringe that has no measurements other than pounds for horses.
Would someone please give me instructions for measurement of dosage; how to administer dose; and how many times to give up.
Thank you very much!

how to measure the tiny amount needed for my chickens

To treat Roundworms Only Fenbendazole (Safeguard/Panacur)) dose for chickens is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once, then repeated in 10 days.

To treat most worms that poultry can have including Roundworms, but excluding Tapeworms, Fenbendazole (Safeguard/Panacur) dose for chickens is 0.23ml per pound of weight given orally once a day for 5 days.


For the Paste, just draw up the dose into a syringe, then administer orally to each bird you will treat. https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...dications-to-all-poultry-and-waterfowl.73335/
