Chicken wormer

[Chic Rustler]

What kind of wormer do you guys recommend for chickens and how do you use it?

I've been getting less eggs than normal lately and found worms in some droppings. I think they were round worms, but i would like something broad spectrum. The manure gets composted for garden use if that makes a difference

I buy something at TSC that requires NO egg destroying. It's a small pellet, with measurer in bag...add to their regular pellet feed. Don't remember exact price but somewhere in the 8-12 range -- lasts a long time. Strike III by Durvet. Comes in a little resealable bag. I use it 2 days in a row bout every 6 wks in the warm weather season. Went to barn & got you a picture.

You can also go with Safeguard liquid goat wormer. The Safeguard is a much better wormer than the Ivermectin, which can also be used for poultry.

Administer orally undiluted, use a syringe without a needle. Dosage is orally 1cc for giants, 3/4cc for large fowl, 1/2cc for standards, 1/4cc for smaller birds. Redose again in 10 days so you clean out any new worms that hatched from eggs after you killed the existing load. There's a 24 day withdrawal period from start to finish. Some residue will be in the eggs, it's up to you if you want to eat the eggs or discard them. I eat them and I haven't had any problems… And I haven't had a problem with worms either Just don't incubate the eggs. Some dewormers' residue in eggs cause problems with the chicks' development.

I wonder if i could feed the raw eggs to the dogs and worm them too?

Two birds with one stone? lol

And, my chicken always eat the goat poop (or at least peck through it) so I wonder if they're getting wormed when the goats do?

I wonder if the compost gets hot enough or if you wait long enough, will the wormer chemical disperse where 8t wont harm all the good microbes in soil?

How much for a 40lb dog?

That I'm afraid I can't tell you. I haven't had a dog since my teens. You should ask your vet for recommendations for dog dewormers. Some products can safely be used across species, like goat dewormers for poultry, but some may not be suitable to use on dogs for example.
