How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[quickcluck]

Anyone got any info on them? What they are like? Do they lay well? Stop over winter?

 

Thanks

Absolutely stunning but very flighty. Will lay about 250 pure white large eggs and will stop over winter but not for ages as they are only a light breed.

 

Lovely to keep but they do keep you on your toes!

I have one - she, ZaZa, is about a year old now and manic - she is still laying but not every day. ZaZa both adores and torments the Light Sussex, Berthe. When Berthe is dustbathing, ZaZa will try to dig her up or bury her head in Berthe's feathers. ZaZa hates being picked up and will scream and scream indignantly the whole time.

We had an exchequer leghorn called Bertie (was a girl ) also known as the useless freeloader! Did lay beautiful pure white eggs, but only when she could be bothered and I don't think I ever managed to handle her! But, they are very pretty.

We have two. They are beautiful birds, lay fantastically well - one moulting just now but the other still laying - aren't that flighty but do like to escape out of their part of the garden into the main 'non-chicken' part. I could clip their wings but haven't really felt the need to.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them

As with all pure breeds, if it's egg you're after, you need to make sure you're buying from a utility strain. Those bred for the show pen are not usually the best layers. Most pure breeds stop laying when they go into their late summer / autumn moult and don't start again until early spring. There are exceptions of course, but that tends to be down to the individual hen and not any particular breed.

 

And take care buying at auction too, you can pick up far more than your bargain for.

I know what you mean jools, but we are not going with the intent to buy anything really, just wanted to know what they are like...
