[CHICKENS-101] Tapeworms -- advice please

 

A few weeks ago I discovered tapeworms in chicken droppings.  I did some research and the only product I found made specifically for chickens that can kill tapeworms is Wormazole, a fendbendazole in a capsule.  I ordered it online and gave the first dose about 13 days ago.  Still saw tapeworms in droppings.  As per instructions, I wormed them again after 10 days.  Three days later, still worms in droppings. :-(

 

Please, if anyone out there has successfully treated tapeworms in chickens, let me know what worked for you.  I am thinking of treating the hen I suspect of having the heavy infestation one more time with a 1.5x dosage, but I'm worried about hurting her.  If I wanted to try pumpkin seeds, do I give them raw?  How much, and for how long?  Do they have to be in the shell, or will hulled seeds work?  Has anyone seen Verm-X actually eliminate worms rather than just preventing them?

 

Thanks.
