« on: July 28, 2011, 22:18 »
I am very proud of my girls i bought them late monday afternoon settled them into their coop and run............spent a lovely day watching them tuesday closing their coop at 9 that night after they put themselves to bed....woke next morning cleaned outdoor space, opened coop to let them out and what did i find.................Yes u got it an egg  :) and then i got another today.  I also let them out to play today and when it was time to stop trashing my veg they went to bed beautifully love them so much ...........now i need to know best wormer someone has told me about an organic one which means u can carry on using eggs is it any good?

Glad to hear you are having a good time with your new chicks Buttony, though you may have to barricade off your veg bed if you want anything left for you  ;)

The only really effective wormer is Flubenvet.  The others are really preventatives and do not control some types of worm like Gapeworm. If your run is stationary you might also want to worm a bit more often than every 6 months.  There is info in Aunt Sally's usefull poultry info post and if you do a search on the forum for Flubenvet, you'll get loads of threads discussing this so you can have a read and make your own mind up  :)

yes flubenvet every time - and you can still eat the eggs whilst they are being wormed  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.
