Chicken shack Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I am sure you experts out there get frustrated with all our questions but us new to this really appreciate you. My question is I used vermex about a month ago and Rhoda had diarrhea for 2 days after and I was very concerned for her and she stopped laying. She layed her since then today. I think I put too much cod liver oil into the mix. Once the diarrhea had cleared up I wormed them with flubavet as suggested on here. I will get to the point in a moment Now that I have used flubavet should I worm them with vermex once a month I won't over do the cod liver oil this time. They have a cube with double run and FR on a small patch of garden every day as OH works down the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jools Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I'd say either / or as you're just wasting your money if you use both - just my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I'd just use Flubenvet - not bother with the verm-x every month. Verm-x is just a herbal wormer so more a preventative - flubenvet the only licenced wormer for chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlady Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Same here..flubenvet is a actual wormer "to get rid of" worms whereas verm-x is just a preventative. I would rather eradicate a problem when it occurs rather than trying to prevent by giving something all the time. Chooks wouldn't have all this in the wild so I (personally ) prefer to keep as natural as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve the Gas Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I would have liked to have a jungle too - the birds are originally jungle fowl, but the chooks ate it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jools Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 And of course the best thing is that we have so much choice in what we use to keep our chickens worm free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
