scarlettohara Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have had Scarlett about six weeks now and the new girls for 3 - when should I think about worming them? And can I buy flubenvet from the internet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Have a hunt round the forum for more detailed responses, but in a nutshell, you can worm your hens now if you feel they need it. Flubenvet can be given from an early age. If they are free ranging, then it is a good idea to worm them 3 or 4 times a year. Try googling 'Flubenvet', and you will find several sites from which you can purchase it. For your purposes, the 1% should be adequate, and the instructions about dosage are on the pack.

Alis girls Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 So if they free range should they be wormed sooner - I've had mine 10days which is premature to ask- but just wondered when I should think about it? I need to order the stuff and will go for Flubenaet or whatever its called. Thanks for link. They are Omlet hens - just wanted an idea - forgot to ask man. They have been free ranging for 5 days no and love it. Go back into Eglu when had enough which is amazing - all I need now is to oick them up. We are going to try at dusk this weeken when they are sleepy as sugg by you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 You won't need to worm them yet . I'd leave it a few months, unless they display symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 I'm getting 3 new girls next week and thought I would worm them all in a couple of months when hopefully they are settled together. I've ordered it now so that if there are any problems in the meantime I have it to hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
