Hi all, I wormed my two hens third week in january ( flubenvet 1% ). Sadly one of the girls died and I took two more hens on. Is it ok to worm their shared food even though my original hen has only just had a dose?

How old are the new hens ?

Do you know if they were wormed before you got them?

I think if the new birds seem fit and well I'd leave it for 3 month before worming them all.

Not wormed but in fine health so I will hold off and do them all together in 3 months.
Thanks Sally

Keep it under review in the mean time. If you think they may have signs of worms at any time do them anyway.
