Title: worming hens
Post by: Debz on July 06, 2009, 15:27

I have never done this before and would welcome some advice.  What product do you use? How do you administer it? (I only have 3 girls).  Where do you get it from and is there any egg layoff time required?  Many thanks in anticipation.

I started off trying VERM-X but it didn't work so now rely on Flubenvet. It does the job really well and I think is what most people on here use due to its effectiveness.

Thank you, that's just what I was going to ask?

I'm stocking up with stuff in preparation for their arrival, their first aid box has got more in than mine!

Good for you Flowerpower !!!  You'd be horified at how many people don't get anything until it's an emergency and a flat out panic   ::) >:(
