Single hen

[Sky]

I have just purchased some Verm-X wormer for the chickens and now realise that this is a herbal wormer. Does anyone use this and is it as effective as the veterinary type wormers. I haven't got a problem using herbal medicines but would like to know that it is ok.

Sorry to say I didn't find it to be of any use at all.

 

I spent a fortune on this thinking I was giving my hens the very best. Then it became clear to me that they had worms.

 

I treated them with Flubenvet and it was very evident a couple of days into the first course that they were heavily infested.

 

Others rave about it though, so maybe I was just unlucky.

 

 

I routinely worm my hens with Flubenvet now and have had no further problems.

Sorry I don't use Verm-X either. I use Flubenvet.

 

But I'm sure lots of folk on here have tried or use it and will give some advice.

 

I would definately use it as a precautionary measure especially as it's not cheap.
