Bex01 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hi there, I've just received my order from Regency Poultry, and I'm so excited, if a little confused! So, I've got Flubenvet 1% medicated premixture, Diatom, Apple cider vinegar with garlic, grit and Stalosan F. How do I use these things? I've read somewhere that the Flubenvet should only be used 3 times a year, what do I use for the rest of the time, as I understand they will need worming every 4 - 6 weeks. The cider vinegar, is for the water, should it be added all the time? Also what quantities? Should I put the grit in containers or sprinkle in the run? and the Stalosan I understand is to disinfect the run (which the girls will be staying in) how often and how much??? Sorry, I just need to get all this straight in my head, my ex-batt girls are due on the 30th and I want to be prepared!! I'm going food shopping next.....any suggestions??? What would be a good treat mix?? Thanks for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I've read somewhere that the Flubenvet should only be used 3 times a year, what do I use for the rest of the time, as I understand they will need worming every 4 - 6 weeks. I use every 3 months, don't worry in between The cider vinegar, is for the water, should it be added all the time? Also what quantities? I add about a tablespoon full to a glug, not all the time, once every couple of weeks Should I put the grit in containers or sprinkle in the run? I do both and the Stalosan I understand is to disinfect the run (which the girls will be staying in) how often and how much??? Just sprinkle like shake and vac and I do it every fortnight Sorry, I just need to get all this straight in my head, my ex-batt girls are due on the 30th and I want to be prepared!! I'm going food shopping next.....any suggestions??? What would be a good treat mix?? Ex batts don't know treats at first, never had them, but in time a cabbage will probably be appreciated, as will mixed corn and mealworms Thanks for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
