Cooks Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 you dont often see the worms, but it's not that uncommon, a few people have posted recently about seeing them Your working with great stuff so it proves its doing its job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 It happens sometimes, how long is it since you wormed them? I wouldn't beat yourself up too much about you were doing the right thing by worming them in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Havent wormed them since last summer, as they are all laying didnt think it was a problem, it was only reading things on the forum that made me think I should do it. Lavender is moulting as well poor love so all happening at once.. Do I need to clean out all the Auboise as well? seing as they poo on there ? or can I leave it for a few weks. Many thank for all advice. + WIR Lavender Mable Marjorie Violet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 A few weeks ago I went to clean the chicks out and in a couple of poos were tangled white thin worms(looked like thick cotton thread) I was mortified as I do worm them with Flubenvet. But admit it was about 4 weeks overdue & we do have lots of wild mallards etc So I mixed up the flubenvet in the pellets and fed them for week. The worms decreased daily.I dont think they were all loaded just either one or two. Now I am always looking.But it took me by suprise! Am more consistent with worming now At least its treatable indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
