Hi There

 

wondered if anyone could help me - 1 of my girls seems to be losing weight. she's still laying and seems to be fine - i,ve also noticed that 1 of the eggs shells has little crops of funny raised dots on it. this is my 1st time as a choox mum so i.m still a bit green but didn't know they had to be wormed. we,ve had the girls for almost a year now and we love them dearly - i feel really bad that i haven't wormed them - how often does it have to be done? would worms cause weight loss? thanx all x

Welcome to the forum.

 

Yes, worms can cause weight loss. I would get some Flubenvet, available online, and worm them a couple of times a year each.
