Flubenvet help needed!

i thought the same so bought the 2.5 stuff too
you need to use a 1/4 tsp per kilo , so 1 tea spoon per 4 kilo of feed and its probably best to use a measuring spoon so its flat
just mix it up as you normally would ,i tried doing it by oiling the pellets first but decided to just mix it dry and make a mash as the chickens seem to prefer it

This is what I do with Flubenvet 2.5


I weigh out 12g of Fubenvet per 10kg of layers pellets, so 24g of Flubenvet per 20kg bag of layers pellets. I use a small pocket digital scale and a little plastic beaker or yoghurt pot, not forgetting to set the scale to 0 before weighing the Flibenvet.

1. Mix some cod liver oil with the weighed out Flubenvet.

2. Mix the above with a good scoop of layers pellets and stir well.

3. Keep adding more and more layers pellets mixing well between each addition.

4. Mix and add until your whole amount of layers pellets are incorporated.

5. Feed this and only this until you have been feeding for 7 full days on an add lib basis. Then return to usual feeding regime.

6. Mix up more if needed.

7. Big birds will eat more than small birds and so will get the right amount of Flubenvet for their individual needs. Don't get hung up on who gets what amount.

Hope this helps.

We've only had hens for two years, and a few months ago tried the impregnated pellets with 2 of our neighbours (shared a bag), we found it a little more expensive but so much easier.  Good luck

Oh, and does anyone know of a reliable website I could buy from? The farmers shops around me have all stopped stocking anything chicken related... Thanks!

How do you know when a chicken has worms?
How often do they need worming and from what age?

you are best worming them every 3-4 months even if they show no signs of worms.
