CharLeila Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hi, I'v had my girls almost a year and have never wormed them. They all seem healthy (apart from a bald patch on Pepperpot) and are all laying lovely eggs. They have never been ill and have never had anything medicated. Could anyone tell me if they have to be wormed and if there is anything else I should be doing to keep them on top form. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hens can have worms without you seeing evidence (they usually shed microscopic worm eggs rather than worms) Info re Flubenvet worming here **CLICK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I worm mine every 6 months. Although it is possible that if your girls free range over a large area then they won't get worms. But I like to do mine just in case. I also give mine ACV every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 If your girls are anything like mine and regularly feasting on worms, mice and sparrows then it mightn't be a bad idea. It's a good idea to regularly worm them, it keeps them healthy. 2-3 times a year should be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
