Just wondering, if worms can somehow have an impact on egg production?

 

Chickpea has just be laying yolks for about a month now, even after limesttone flour and zolcal D she's had a brief pick up of laying normal eggs and then back to yolks.

I wondered if worms had something to do with it.

Whatever it is, it only affects Chickpea, Yolko is laying normally.

 

Any advice appreciated.

Most definitely. They are competing with the chicken for the nutrition in the gut and also make the hens feel under par because they can cause a mild immune response.

 

It might be worth giving a course of Flubenvet.

Yes, I worm my girls every 6 months now.

I see a drop in eggs/no eggs when they are close to worming time.

I worm mine every 3 months on averaqge, and even now I wormed them in July and poor old Prim has worms in August. No eggs and very under the weather - poor old girl.

Thanks:)

She's fine in herself its just the whole yolk thing.

I buy some Flubenvet, thanks again.

What are you using as a wormer?
