Ness3103 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 hi everyone, hope you don't mind but i have a couple of questions. i need to worm my girls and i can't remember how to do the correct dosage i've got 4 girls and some flubenvet. i've also got some cod liver oil but not sure how much to give, how often and how do i give it to them, i know some people put it in the pellets but mine have layers mash, so not sure what to do. and finally i got some stalosan f, it's in a small shaker container but it doesn't have any instructions on it. do i just shake it all over the soil in the run or do i have to dig it in? thanx in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend21 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I am starting my girls on working tomorrow, it the flubenvet it 1% I am sure it is a scoop to 2k of feed. I use the cod liver oil when they are laying softies so i dip some of there treats in it of I add it to a scoop of feed. Stalosan F should be sprinkled on the ground before you place the bedding on top of it. Hope that helps Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 You can add the cod liver oil to the feed just a little glug! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 i need to worm my girls and i can't remember how to do the correct dosage i've got 4 girls and some flubenvet. What Flubenvet did you buy? There is the 1% version and the 2.5% version. I have the 2.5% one and for my 4 hens I use 1 level teaspoon (i.e a 5ml Calpol spoon) divided by 7 days, then further split into 4 and put inside a grape. I know lots of folk don't get on with the grape method in case 1 chook eats 2 doses, but if you pick up each chook and feed a grape from your hand you know where you're at.

legend21 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I dont expect my 2k to last more than a few days so will have to add the flubenvet, garlic, DE etc etc again to another batch. But when you think every batch you make up needs alsorts added then the flubenvet is just a small distraction every 3 months Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
