veggiemad Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hello fellow chicken lovers! just a quickie , i'm worming my ex batts for the first time since i got them 4 weeks ago. I have bought flubenvet and mixed it with 7 days worth of pellets as advised on the box. However - just want to check that i am not supposed to let them free range now until the 7 days is up, to make sure they eat all the pellets and dosage. Is this right? i feel abit mean keeping them in their eglu run-as they usually free range for a good few hours a day- but you've gotta be cruel to be kind i guess. could some one just clairfy that i'm right to keep them in. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 your not suppost to let them free range but I let mine out for an hour before bedtime that way they should have eaten the days ration I just leave out the bed time snack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I agree with sjp . As long as they've filled up on the pellets all morning and some of the afternoon, a little freeranging every day is fine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippy bird Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Glad you have said that as mine are running round my garden as we speak!! I have given them some treats as well, but only when I knew that they had stuffed their faces all day on the pellets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 If I don't let mine out they scream the place down pace up and down or look sad until I back down and open the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
