speckled hen Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hello everyone I need to worm my girls, where do I buy worming products from? I am planning on using Flubenvet. I have done a google search and am now even more confused, help! I would also appreciate any advise on what else I need, I use chicken spice and garlic at the moment, I havent treated for mites yet so ought to do this as well. Three of the girls are laying at the moment, with Dora looking promising for laying anytime soon xx Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkspurs Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 We got ours from http://www.petmeds.co.uk/c-433-flubenvet.aspx but the link above from quickcluck is about £3 cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfb Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 you could consider verm-x, a herb-based worm combatant, and diatomaceous earth, which can be mixed with feed for internal parasite control, sprinkled on roosting bars and in the nesting box and dusted on birds against lice and mites. i try to use natural things, and these work for me. d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Verm-x is a good natural repellant but won't kill a worm infestation. Flubenvet is definitely the best option and there's no egg withdrawal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfb Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 just to revisit the worming issue, and to confirm things to my own satisfaction, i spoke with verm-x and they confirm that verm-x can be used both as a worm preventive and a cure, with no egg withdrawal. the proviso is that if there is an existing infestation, that two consecutive courses, that is 2 sessions of 3 days each use of verm-x (i put it in their water) should do the trick. what i like about this product is that it's natural, so it's down to personal preference. i hope this helps d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helenmb Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I think there are a huge number of us Omleteers who wanted to use the 'Natural' option but have found that Flubenvent is much more efficient at treating girls who already have worms. I am sure others will agree, I started on Verm-X but have gone onto Flubenvet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&T Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Flubenvet cetainly worked for our wormy chicken. The evidence was left all over the garden seat... And I would have advised the MIL not to sit there, had she not already just sat down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckled hen Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks for the replies. I think I will go for flubenvet this time, I found lots of nasty flies in the cube and think this as a result of worms (I rang a nice lady at omlet and thats what she thinks) so really want to make sure that is treated. One of my lovely girls has lost her feathery knickers so, could be linked? C&T haven't stopped laughing about MIL yet, ummmm ..... wonder if a chook could be trained ......

speckled hen Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 We got ours from http://www.petmeds.co.uk/c-433-flubenvet.aspx but the link above from quickcluck is about £3 cheaper! Thanks for the link, it worked out cheaper as it had free delivery, compared to over £7 delivery with the other link. Both really good links though so yet more to add to favourites list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno I must have been having a mad chicken day to not notice the p&p difference on both links. Glad it worked out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helsbels Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 hi there - i got mine from here http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/flubenvet-medicated-premixture_1_19154.html I found it very confusing all the different types of flubenvet but these guys seemed to be the most reasonable. I'm going to start them on it for a week next week thanks to Egluntine's help with working out the dosing for 8 hens as opposed to 1000 pheasants ! cheers h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I wouldn't waste your money on VermX. In my experience it is less than useless. I had my girls on it, at great expense, for a long time. It became apparent to me that they had worms. 2 days after starting a course of Flubenvet, the evidence was there for all to see. They improved immediately, and became far healthier generally. I now worm them routinely with Flubenvet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
