Cosysnugs Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 My blue maran has suddenly started to lay eggs with very pale yolks, they are like egg white when fried! She is fed Layers' Pellets, some corn, s"Ooops, word censored!"s and free ranges. She also has the occasional runny poo. Could it be worms? They are given Verm-X 6 weekly. Another chicken on same diet still laying normal eggs. Any ideas for the reason would be appreciated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 how strange... maybe she needs a bit of a boost - poultry spice, more greens? tomatoes are supposed to be good for yolk colour I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Many keepers on this forum recommend using flubenvet instead of Verm-X You could give them more greens, or anything that is supposed to make yolks yellower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hengirl07780 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 That is odd I use Vermex and it is meant to be used every month not 6 weekly so this may have not helped. I would recommend making it every month as that is what I do and it has worked wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffs Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Verm- x is only marketed as a preventative not a cure - so if your chickens do have worms, they will need to be wormed with something that is actually licenced and at present flubenvet is the only licenced poultry wormer on the market.
