johnandkymberley Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hi all, Okay have decided to give my girls an MOT (well a chicken one!) Basically laying hasnt been great and i have used natural wormers but now im going to use some flubenvet pellets so they are being wormed, loused, am rubbing some vaseline into combs that are dry (lilys is really rough and dry) and having fresh garlic cloves into there water (they have garlic in the superglugs all the time) is there anything else i can do? the cube and run are newly cleaned too xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Tea Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 You could put some poultry tonic or acv in their water - not sure if you'd have to take the garlic out or if you can do both at once though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Mine are having chicken spice at the moment, Henrietta was looking really tatty following broodiness and then moult but now just a couple of weeks in she looks much fluffier and has loads of new feathers coming through.

Chucky Mama Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I would leave them too it, you may well be causing undue stress by over handling them and chopping and changing their diet. A good quality pellet or layers mash should be all that they need along with some green leaves/veg or the opportunity to free range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnandkymberley Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 they do need worming though, desperatly so whilst doing that will louse and rub some vaseline into lilys comb. I have given ACV and Poultry tonice not long ago so will leave that for now but will continue with that. I am only lousing them as i have noticed some visitors on Violet xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
