Use Flubenvet, do not use vermex or any other herbal wormer, you can buy the Flubenvet online or a authorised retailer.
At leat every 6 months, however if they are in the garden etc I would suggest every 3 months, thats my times.

Hello gail, how old are your chickens?  Are they baby chicks or full-grown laying hens?  Also is there any way of finding out from the breeder when they were last wormed and what product was used?
