Good morning everyone!

No withdrawal time in laying eggs, confirmed by the manufacturer.

That's in the UK, not in the US. It is not approved for laying hens in the US.

reword this so i can understand your question please

Gamefowl were bred to be nice to humans, correct, just not other chickens?

That make any more sense?

Give 1/4 tab= equivalent to

1 tab of 5%

I think even that is too much for a pigeon. Pigeon dose is probably not more than 10 mg/kg, so a 300 gram pigeon would need only 3 mg?

It is a stupidity because ALL THE POULTRY INDUSTRY HERE, MEAT AND EGGS USE ONLY THIS PRODUCT!!!

It is impossible to weight it in home scale!

Hi kat and liz, I am off to take a shower.

HI Sally!

Good find, but I worry the info on the page is not accurate. It says 20%, which would mean that each pill contains 200 mg flubendazole, which is way too much for a 300-400 gram pigeon. Albendazole and fenbendazole are can be toxic to pigeons when high doses are given.

i am trying to find the info from the manufacturer

I think there is a error on the label. If it is actually flubendazole then I'd be willing to bet that the pills contain no more than 5 mg flubendazole. The Ebay ad also says that it treats external parasites and tapeworms, so I can't help but think that it has more than one drug?
