Hen losing weight
« on: July 22, 2010, 22:44 »
Have had Dora, a ginger ranger, for two months and she has lost weight compared to my other hen, a Pied called Kate, which i got at the same time. Was told to worm them so have used Vermex for two consecutive months. Dora seems well enough in herself, eats and poos ok, lays an egg a day, but her breast bone really protrudes now and she looks considerably thinner than Kate. Any suggestions?

Vermex doesn't eradicate worms, just lessens chances of chooks getting them (they claim). Most pople on the site seem to use Flubenvet which actually treats a worm infestation. If you searhc for the topic in the hen house section you'll find lots of references to it. :)
