Hi all,
To set the scene. We've got the 6 Amberlinks. We feed them on layers' pellets from a hopper under the coop. Plus the usual corn, greens, etc.
Water is permanently in a plastic drinker.

Looks like the options are:
Verm-X liquid
OR
Verm-X pellets.
OR
Flubenvet in their feed.

Which is the best option ?
How do you ensure each chook gets the right amount and is it even necessary unless there's a problem ?

I'm also considering the apple cider vinegar.

Don't want to spend more than necessary but want to do the best for them.

Thanks

I would only use flubenvet as it is the only one I am certain will deal with lung worm.  Do have a look at the worm article in the Poultry Information section PG

Thanks Aunt Sally,

Should have read that first !

I'll get some on order and a bunch of grapes. Might even let them eat some of the grapes.  :roll:

Ta v much.

Panacur sheep wormer mixed in cooking oil and then mixed with either layers pellets or grain.

You can't overdose with Panacur. Quick, effective and simple to administer.

Oh no !

Options.

Just checked Auntie's sticky ( :shock: ) and panacur has an egg withdrawal period so I'll give that a miss but thanks Bodger for the suggestion.

I never bother with the withdrawl period and I don't have worms.

Glad you found it helpful PG.

Glad you've not got worms Bodger  :roll:
