How often should I worm my chickens?

A parasite-control plan should reflect your flock, local conditions, exposure and test results. Ask a poultry-experienced veterinarian when monitoring or treatment is appropriate. Avoid copying a fixed schedule or dose from a different product or country. Only use a medicine appropriate for the birds and follow the label and veterinary withholding advice.

Build a flock-specific plan

Exposure, housing, recent introductions and test results can influence monitoring and treatment. Do not apply an overseas product schedule automatically. Follow an appropriate Australian label or your prescribing vet.
