Mite / Lice & Worms - What's Best ?
« on: February 25, 2012, 19:31 »
Hello  :)

Just going to replenish my sprays and powders etc.....

Have been using colombine spray, flubenvet or Verm-x pellets and red mite powder.

Was looking for recommendations please?

Thank you
Have been keeping hens for 3 years - currently have 12.
Enjoy a bit of " The Good Life "

flubenvet for worms and frontline spray or drops for lice. Please note though that frontline is not licensed for poultry so a vet should prescribe it.
Staffies are softer than you think.

Just to eco what joyfull said i know you can buy Frountline from many supermarkets now now but you would still be best to get advice from a vet who will give the exact dose needed, Frountline is obzorbed into the bloodstreem of the animal and therfore a potential risc of overdose, I was tempted to get some from the wharehouse i use but asked a vet first who explained why that wasnt a good idia  :D

I shall continue with Flubenvet and pop into the vet re the frontline. I guess in the long run it will probably work out cheaper  :) Thank for your help

Oh, Spring must be coming....my lavender araucana's have laid their first blue eggs since October  : :D

I live in a small village in Lincolnshire UK which was the home of Mathew Flinders who was responsible for mapping a lot of the Australian coastline  :D.
