Unsecure chicken perches

[Old Hazel]

Hi

I just read the awful thread about poor Gertie being infested with gapeworms (I clicked on the link hoping to read about the chicken that laid the enormous egg and read about Gertie instead ).

 

I have some new girls who are about 15 or 16 weeks old. When should I start worming them? I don't think they had been wormed by the breeder. I have some Flubenvet and could do all the girls, old and new, at the same time. Are they too young?

No they aren't too young, I'd do them now

Thanks for that.

I doubt that they will have been wormed by the breeder. Let them settle in for a week or so as they will be stressed from the move.

OK. Thanks.
