Single hen

Hi All

 

Well i noticed that the new girls have some pets of their own (sorry ), i am not sure what to give as i have used vermX for my exbatts and i know this is a prevention not a treatment.

 

Is flubenvet ok to give as when i googled chickens with worms this came up but my vet wants to charge £30 for it and that seems alot.

 

I only need to treat 3 chickens.

 

Thanks for any advice in advance.

Try here, or just do a google product search... It's well worth getting, even though it'll last a life time..... I do my girls every 3 months.... they need to have it for 7 days

One tub of Flubenvet would last 2 chickens years. You could try asking on the forum if someone will sell you a small amount or you could offer to buy it and sell it on to others? There are so many new chicken owners you should find a few who are interested. I've sold quite a bit of mine over the last year or so. (Don't have a huge amount left or I'd offer you some .)

that does sound expensive. You can buy it online. I bought my tub in 2006 and I am still only a third of the way through it, so even after the initial outlay it will last several years and has a long shelf life.

Just wondered what size tubs did you guys buy?

[fluffyknickers]

I will need some at some point soon so if anyone is buying some and wants to sell some then count me in.

I got the 240g tub. They did bring out a much smaller tub (aimed at back garden chicken keepers) but it was a bit of a con, working out much more expensive than the bigger one.

I got the 240g tub..

 

I have the same size as ANH. And its still going strong since June 2006.

I got my 240g tub from ChemistDirect. £13.20 plus postage of £2.95. Arrived within 48hrs.

 

As others have said, the amount you need for a back garden flock of chickens is tiny, the stuff has a three year shelf life, so 1 tub will last for ages.

Thank you to Andrew for the good link to Chemistdirect. They seem to offer really good prices. Not sure if I'm allowed to give discount codes on this site, but if you put in saveme5 at checkout, you also get an extra 5% discount on the price.
