Krista,
>As I have explained before, I was afraid that my girls had a large worm load. Killing them all off at once could have cause more problems that it solved, toxicity from the dying worms and obstruction were both possibilities.
I did exactly the same thing for the same exact reason when I wormed mine the first time.
>Ivermectin and piperazine are both very safe medications and have been shown to cause very few side effects, even at ten times the dose needed to dispose of the worms. I would hardly call them poison, or give a second thought to using them when needed.
agreed. I held off for a long time with worming my chickens because I always read "it's so hard on the chickens". I really don't know where that is coming from. I have since read up a lot on worming for birds and nowhere have I read it's a problem in birds, only on some chicken sites.
