Pedro1962 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Just wondering if omlet hens are wormed before delivery. If not, at what point would I need to worm them? I assume this is an important question to ask any supplier, as I am intending to get 3 hens from Thornes as well as the 2 omlet girls. Thornes give a detailed run-down of their vaccination procedure HERE but there's no mention of worming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I would wait a few weeks for them to settle down and then worm them, it won't do any harm if they had been wormed before you got them, I don't believe they can overdose on wormer but a few weeks might be prudent so that you have got to know them and their tummies have settled down (they get the runs a bit after they arrive its enough to put you off but bear with it!)

Pedro1962 Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Many thanks. At least I can now cross flubenvet off my ever-lengthening list of things to get (for the time being). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
