Dirty Bottom

leznwynne · « **on:** March 05, 2008, 11:09 »

One of my Black Rock Hens has developed a dirty rear end. I have had them since November 2007 at POL. They have been laying well up till the 'Mini Earthquake' last week, she seems well otherwise and is scratching about in the garden with the others, and having a daily 'Bath' in an old tomato grow bag in the greenhouse. Can anyone advise me how to deal with this. I have not handled the birds very much to date.

You can use Flubenvent - and another you can get from your vet.

I use VermX a natural wormer, comes in pellet form and I get it from a farm supplies shop. You can get it online too and maybe from a big Pet store chain?
