lisaroo2 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Hi All I think that the girls have got worms. Daisy has done a really runny poo today and I saw something worm-like wiggling in it. It was about 1cm long and about 1mm wide. What do you think? They are about to have their third dose of vermex tonight and I'm hpoing that this will get rid of them. Can we still eat the eggs if they have got worms. They don't seem to be unduly affected, they look healthy and are eating normally. Thanks in advance for help and advice.

Redwing Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 It does sound like worms but yes you can eat the eggs Lots of people do not rate Vermex and use Flubenvet instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisaroo2 Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Thanks Redwing! If I managed to get hold of some flubenvet would it be ok to give it to them straight after the vermex? I think I'll give it a week and see what happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 It would be fine straight after but it might be worth leaving a couple of days in between to let any tummy problems settle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisaroo2 Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Thanks Redwing - should I be overly concerned or will they be ok? Feel a bad chook-mum for letting them get them in the first place!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
