chuckmum6 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have bought Flubenvet and am now looking at it and wondering how I give it to my girls who live on layers pellets? The power will just drop to the bottom if I try to mix it, any suggestions? My only thought was to soak some raisins and them mix it together?

Torrin Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Think I read somewhere that you can mix a little bit of oil - vegetable oil maybe? - to help it all stick together. Or honey maybe - they'd love that Soemone will hopefully be along to correct me soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckmum6 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Thanks for that, it seems oil or honey maybe the way to go, as it shouldn't be gobble in one go - hope you are listening girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 i wouldnt choose honey that would make the feeders sticky and attract insects or rodents vegetable oil or cod liver oil is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 It is also a good idea to mix in a few pellets first, then keeping adding and mixing. If you add all the wormer you need to all the pellets you want in one go it is difficult to get it all mixed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckmum6 Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 I had though about mixing it in a large sweet lidded tin would work and giving it a good shake! Then I can use it to keep the food in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I use a large food bag for the first Kg i add 1 scoop of pellets (about 100grams) a slug of cod liver oil shake the bag then the powder shake then keep adding the pelletts the I empty the food bag into a clean unsented pedal bin bag then keep adding the next Kg of feed until I've mixed the full 2Kg tip carrier bags have holes in them you end up wareing poultry wormer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Clean dry 4 or 6 pint plastic milk bottles make excellent shakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
