shaun Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Have got some Flubvenet worming powder, but the dosage is for 1000s of birds. How much do people add to food for 4 chucks?? Same question for chicken spice Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 chicken spice im never very exact - I just sprinkle in the grub and swirl around with finger. For flubenvet we use the grape/raisin method (some people add it to the feed or some do the grape/raisin method) Slice open small grape or raisin Get tip of very sharp knife and place small amount of flubenvet on the very tip place flubenvet inside opened grape/raisin enclose grape/raisin to disguise evidence feed to chicken individually for 7 days. instead of the knife method, you could just dip half the grape into the flubenvet.

Hen Watch Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Flubenvet for 4 chooks = 1 level teaspoon (ie. 5ml). I use the grape method too, so I put that amount on some foil, cut it into 7 days worth. Then divide each day into 4 to give to each chook. (Hopefully no one thinks I'm an addict with white powder on foil on my windowsill........) Take a look at this post of mine. http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18663&highlight=flubenvet Sorry, edit to say, Poultry spice, I personally add half teaspoon to their treats (such as cooked rice or mashed potato as it sticks nicely and I know they will eat it all).

..lay a little egg for me Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I have been wrestling with this problem too but was reassured to find in my internet searches that the toxicity is very low: they gave over half a teaspoon per bird per day with no ill effects (1 teaspoon between 4 birds over 7 days is tiny in comparison), so I was satisfied that it did not have to be exact. I have tried mixing it with the feed (stirred a teaspoonful into 7-days worth of feed) but they don't seem too keen to eat it, so I may try the rice/mash method (though I suppose I will wait a few days to see if they will eat the medicated pellets).

frenchlayer Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I was looking for the same dosage thing too, as I need to do mine. One of the lovely ladies on the forum sent me some because I can't get it here. (youknowwhoyouareyoulovelyladyandtheclueinthisline!) But the grapes here are horrible seeded things and I never buy them so I will have to go the raisin route I think. Anyway thanks for the thread link.
