How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

I've just got some Flubenvet but am a bit confused about the dosage.

I only have two chickens now and they are fed on organic layers pellets. I've tried to follow the directions on mixing it in but I still seem to be left with the powder at the bottom of the mix, is this right or should I be making it wet? Also I'm not sure how much they will eat in 7 days so I've mixed in 3gms to 1kg of pellets to see how they go. If they don't eat all this will they still be getting enough of the wormer?

 

Many thanks.

If you coat the pellets with a little cod liver oil, the powder will stick.

 

What strength of Flubenvet are you using?

Hi,

Thanks I'll try that.....it's 1%

If the dose is correct, and they eat nothing but the medicated pellets for the 7 days, they will get the right amount of wormer, as they eat according to their age,and weight.

That's great, thank you very much.
