TheChookKeeper Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I have to hold my hands up to not having wormed my chooks or ducks until now... I've now discovered the chooks have worms (well, one of them, at least), so they are on Flubenvet... but the instructions for Flubenvet says nothing about ducks... it covers chooks, geese and turkeys... but no mention of ducks. Is it OK to use with them to? I assume ducks get worms just like chooks, and they they would need worming too? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller30 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hi you can use flubenvet to worm your ducks i use verm-x only because the ducks and chickens eat from the same bowls their are a lot of people who dont bother worming their ducks i only do mine because of the chickens leanne.

Guest Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I never wormed my ducks but probably would have if they lost condition, they use to free range all day. I probably would too if they lived in more of an enclosed space with chickens etc. But I have wormed my chickens with flubenvet twice since getting them in May 09 indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dappy Chick Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I was talking to the man on the Flubenvet stand at the Nationals and he told me that ducks need worming at the same time as the chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I was talking to the man on the Flubenvet stand at the Nationals and he told me that ducks need worming at the same time as the chickens Interesting to know Is it the same dosage as the chickens, do you know? Will try and get all ours done before they're integrated in the WIR so at least I know who's eating what for the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dappy Chick Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Yes he advised me to use the same dose and I have wormed our ducks since and they are all doing fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
