Leicester_H Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hi My 2 seem perfectly healthy in them selves - still run around garden and kill for corn. But they are laying less eggs (and occasionally soft) and Chikkie is a bit bald underneath. I don't want to give them unnecesary chemicals. I have examined droppings carefully for worms as I have washed them off the patio and seen no signs - are worms obvious ? - what should Ilook for ?? Thanks in advance, H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Some are very obvious....some are minute and can only be seen under a microscope. If you aren't keen on chemicals, why not add ACV to their water and diatom to their feed. It will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_H Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 If you aren't keen on chemicals I'm not keen on unnecessary chemicals - hence I haven't wormed routinely - maybe I should have. If worms are a possibility, I'd like to sort it - from what I've read on here the most reliable treatment is Flubenvet - does anyone disagree ?

Scottie Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Having wormed all the girls last week with Flubenvet, one chicken who hadn't laid any eggs for weeks on end has come back into lay. Certainly worth doing! Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
