Thank you for the nice comment! I did this one quite awhile ago, so I don't remember if I included info about parasite prevention. I have been sprinkling garlic and cayenne pepper on my flocks feed 2-3 times a week, and I haven't had any worms or Cocci since doing that. (I check samples with a microscope) The only time I see these issues here now is when I bring in new chickens from other places.

This was extremely informative. First time seeing you on here. Thank you so much.❤

Most product label info will say 2 weeks. Wazine states no egg withdrawal, but I don't even recommend using it, it's not very effective, and it doesn't kill all types of parasites. I personally do one week no matter what product. Considering the tiny amount you MIGHT get passed on through the egg, and considering ivermectin was once used to treat parasites in humans, I don't worry all too much about it. But that's just me. But if I wasn't to ramble on here, lol, I'd just tell you to do 2 weeks. ;)

Does safeguard treat tapeworm?

Good informative

how should i know the difference between a bird overrun with worms and a bird with cocci? is it possible for a chicken to have both at once? it seems like the symptoms are mostly the same

@chickenchat9672

2 жыл бұрын

Great question! Yes they can definitely have both issues. I've seen it many times while checking stool samples for other people with my microscope and actually my new peacock just had both. Symptoms are the same pretty much. So it is difficult to know for sure. Many vets will check a stool sample for you. If this is not an option I would treat for cocci first as it damages the chickens intestines pretty quickly. I have used corid and the pea size dose of safeguard paste at the same time years ago before I had my scope. A peafowl expert I know uses both valbazen and toltrazuril (for cocci) in the drinking water at the same time, but please know I have NOT tried that. I am very leery of mixing chemicals.

I can't answer that for certain. I don't kill my animals and I run a small animal rescue. I don't think, even IF a small amount would remain in the body, it wouldn't harm you. Prior to the 1980's it was actually common practice for humans to be dewormed, and humans are still treated for worms today using Ivermectin.

If they are real skinny to were you feel their breast bone, it will take 2-3 months for them to regain their weight. That's if you're getting the worms killed.

Yes but if you have a large flock it could be difficult. If your flock is small ..you can also give them the paste at night when they are on the roosting pole. Just gently pull down on the waddles to open the beak, and put the paste in the mouth. For a large flock you may want to use the liquid safeguard, because it just goes in the drinking water.

I under stand that you add for the weight of the chickens. But if your putting it in water for your hole flock do you add up the weight of all your chickens & add the appropriate amount of the warmer and water to do your whole flock at once. Or do you add the dose for the weight of one bird to all the water,

Are you sure that's what they have? Respiratory illness can sometimes have similar symptoms. Did you have a stool sample checked, or look down the throat with a flashlight? You would see the worms attached to the throat wall. They are tiny thin red worms. Safeguard will kill gapes, but they are tricky to get rid of. Give a pea size to the chickens for 3 days wait one week and repeat. It's easiest to do this when they are roosting at night. Gently pull down on the waddles to open the beaks and then put the safeguard in the mouth.
