When to Use a Poultry Wormer
Symptoms of a worm infestation in chickens include:
- Abnormal Weight Changes: Unexplained weight loss or poor weight gain in pullets and meat birds.
- Feed Consumption: Higher or lower than usual feed intake.
- Egg Abnormalities: Pale yolk color and visible threads in the egg white.
- Pale Wattle and Comb: Indicating poor health.
- Abnormal Droppings: Diarrhea, pale or foamy droppings, and visible worms.
- Dirty Vent Feathers: Due to frequent diarrhea.
- Decreased Egg Production: A drop in the number of eggs laid.
- Gapeworm Symptoms: Coughing, gaping, gasping for breath, and wheezing.
Preventative worming is the best way to keep your chickens healthy. We recommend worming your birds every 6 to 8 months, even if they show no symptoms. Regular worming is especially important for free-range chickens or those exposed to worm-infested environments.
Best Practices for Use:
- Mix the recommended dose of Kilverm with your chickens' drinking water.
- Ensure fresh water with the medication is available throughout the day.
- Repeat the treatment as recommended, usually every 6 to 8 months, to prevent infestations.
Wormer Tablets vs. Liquid Solution
Choosing between chicken wormer tablets and a liquid solution depends on your convenience and the needs of your flock.
Here's why a liquid solution, such as Kilverm, might be the better choice:
- Ease of Administration: Liquid wormers can be easily mixed with drinking water, ensuring all chickens receive the medication without the stress of handling them individually.
- Medication Drinkers: Using medication drinkers simplifies the process. Just add the worming liquid to the water, and your chickens will consume it naturally.
