kayandrob Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hubby went out after work and bought supplies from the list all you helpful peeps suggested this afternoon, he came back with the 2kg of Diatom (moaned about the price though!) does anyone know how long this will last for? also can we use it on our chooks straight away as they will only be about 11-12 weeks old and are pekin bantams (don't think that will make any difference!) I take it I can add it to their food? is it ok with growers pellets? and also in their eglu? Is it best me giving them a little dusting before we let them settle down just so we know they have at least had some treating? Also I was going to order some Flubenvet (not sure thats spelt right!) there seem to be different types which do I go for? can anyone post me a link to what I should be using please? When do I need to start using this with our chickens? Thanks and I apologise about all the questions Kay xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Use diatom on the chooks themselves,their nest bedding,their pellets and any nooks and crannies in Eglu. Here is where i get my animal stuff from and got Flubenvet delivered last week. http://www.hyperdrug.co.uk/Flubenvet-Medicated-Premixture-240g/productinfo/FLU9008079/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I got my Flubenvet from * here *. They don't charge postage so it's quite a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
