Worming while broody?
« on: August 15, 2011, 13:24 »
Hello, i'm about to worm my 3 girls with Flubenvet but one of them has gone broody.  She's been this way for 4 days now, i keep removing eggs and shutting her out of the coop after the others have layed, she happily potters around the garden for hours but runs back in given the first chance.  I'm not sure what to do about worming her as she isn't eating the same amount at the minute, due to broodiness, therefore won't get the full dose.  Should i dose her with treats like grapes?  If so what's the dosage?  Give her a medicated buffet bowl of layers in the coop?  Thanks in advance.

At any given time at least one of mine is broody so I have the same problem. I tend to split some grapes and put a pinch of flubenvet in each one. Just make sure they each get one every day for 7 days.

I reckon that's what i'll do, still broody this morning.  I've got the 1% flubenvet so how much of the 6 gram scoop they would be fed in medicated feed should i be giving?  I have 3 hens and was all prepared for the medicated mixture.
