please could you remind me how I can worm my 2 hens
« on: April 18, 2012, 10:48 »
Hi all, I have 2 hens and they are due for worming about now but I can't remember how to worm them with such small numbers and quantities, obviously I can't measure out such small amounts of wormer.

I can recall some of you speaking of putting wormer in grapes which sounded quick and easy, I used raisins I believe!! I am keento get it right as we did indeed have worms last year  :ohmy: I have 1% flubenvet.

thanks

there should be a small measuring spoon in the tub of flubenvet - 2 hens should get through at least 1750g of feed. So mix up 2kg of pellets and 1 level scoop of flubenvet and then feed them nothing else but their layers for 7 days  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.

Thanks so much Joyfull  :D easy peasy!

Does it matter that they have mixed corn with their pellets usually or should I just give them the pellets which is easily done. x

mixed corn is generally regarded as a treat - there is already mixed corn in their layers but as all the ingredients are ground up you cant see it  :).
I would just feed them their layers for the 7 days of worming  :)
