Cozpip Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 We've had our chicks for over a year and I've never wormed them. How often should they be done? And are there any signs that would indicate they do need worming? I've one girl who hasn't laid for a long time - 6 months maybe - but she's only about 18 months old. Any clues?

Egluntyne Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I worm mine 3 times a year with Flubenvet. There is a useful article **Here** in the FAQ Section on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Sorry don't know why your girl isn't laying, perhaps she's laying soft eggs and they are getting eaten I worm mine every 3 months and give the run a good clean out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennydavies Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Our girls never have any symptoms of having worms but each time I worm them (3-4 times each year with Flubenvet) I have seen evidence of dead, expelled worms on the poo tray in the henhouse, so it definately works.
