Worming solutions.
« on: April 05, 2009, 09:23 »
Hi, can anyone tell me what worming method i can use for my hens?
Two of them have been on the same spot of land for the last year. And the two new girls only 3 months. Should i worm them all just for good measure?

Many thanks  :)

Hello Henrietta,
Yes, worm the with Flubenvet.
Compare prices on www.Bestpet.co.uk and petmeds.co.uk
The latter works out cheaper at the moment on Flubenvet, but t'other is cheaper on other pet products.

Surprisingly, I found the local vet was cheaper than any of the online companies. So it pays to ask around. Nic.

My regular Vet wanted £36.02 for two 60g tubs! 
I paid £25.14 for two 60g tubs from bestpetpharmacy.
Would have been even cheaper (18.77 for 240g) if I'd checked out Petmed.co.uk

The different size packs are different formulations

The 240g one is a 2.5% concentration and the 60g one is 1%
