Fubenvet + Free Ranging?
« on: October 10, 2010, 12:30 »

Into my second day with the flubenvet and did I read it right, after doing a search, that your chickens are not allowed to free range or roam in the garden??

Correct - their only source of food should be the dosed pellets.

Do have a look through this:

Hi
I have just finished worming my hens and kept them in for the seven days as advised, although mine do have a stable to roam in.
I had previously wormed them and didn't keep them in and 5 weeks later worms were present in one.  :(
They definitely ate more pellets the week they were not allowed to free range subsequently getting more flubenvet.
I worried about them not getting their corn in the evening but they really didn't miss it that much. I think we enjoy giving them their treats almost more than they enjoy getting them.  :)
The only other way to dose them is if you can give them an individual dose of flubenvet each on a treat eg, grape, although i am not sure how much etc. and you would have to make sure that each hen gets her medicine.
