Worming season

Done the dog and decided to do the chucks starting last Sunday with flubenvet. This morning when I opened up there was a huge puddle with loads of worms! I suspect one of the ex-bats who is a bit ropey looking and from the position in the henhouse. We hadn't been in a hurry to worm them as our original four are still quite young and in theory the ex-bats shouldn't have them, how wrong was I? They have had verm x every month as well.
Don't read the next bit if you are eating

While I was doing poo patrol this morning the one with worms must have passed some more and Barbara was being chased around with (horror) one of the worms in her beak and promptly ate it! I'm assuming that once they come out they are dead, at least I hope it was. You need a strong stomach to do this before breakfast.

They have had verm x every month as well.

Hmmm.... that's why I never recommend it !

Stick with the flubenvet nic. It seems kinder on the chickens in the long run.
