Worming chick?
« on: May 11, 2011, 12:15 »
Hi
My chick is now 6 weeks old and I'm starting to wonder when should I worm and frontline her?
Would a little pinch of flubenvet on a treat be ample?
Thanks  :)

Frontline is a treatment not a preventative.  If you use it regularly then it can make the parasites resistant.

Worm the chick when you next worm your other hens.  No point in haveing a different cycle ;)
