Omlet cube and run

For those of you who use verm-x pellets, I bought 750g for £22 inc postage on Amazon. That's not a bad price and came promptly.

I just noticed that the pot I got has 20% free, so 900g for that price is even better.

Thats good value i paid £9.99 for 250g from wilkos,will get some from Amazon next time.

Thankyou.

[Mumpty]

Sounds like a bargain. Could you direct me to the one you bought as I can't see it on Amazon. None of them state any extra percentage or 750g for £22.

 

Thanks

Does it have a sell by date? Only cos I have a 2 year old pot on the shelf that you can have, if you want it (I switched to Flubenvet) and can collect (not far from Camberley, funnily enough ).

Thank you, that's very generous. After googling around a bit, I did find some at around the same price and have ordered it now. Why did you change to Flubenvet? I have that too, but it seems a bit complicated, do you find it easy to administer?

[Tutti Frutti]

No, I found it better and now see flubenvet as a chemical cure and Verm-X as more of a herbal preventative (which can't have worked so well as the evidence was clear to see when I first used flub!).

[The Dogmother]

You can use both if you want to, but it's a tad expensive and you really only need to use Flubenvet.

 

As the only licensed wormer for use on poultry it is very effective and if you worm quarterly (as you do with cats and dogs) then you will keep the worm load to a sensible level. I use the pre-mixed pellets just because I find that easier.

Thanks Dogmother. I have ordered it now so will probs use both as suggested. I haven't seen it in pre mixed pellets, i'll google that too.

Google "Marriages layers pellets with flubenvet".

Will do, thanks.

 

As we are getting some more chickens, it sounds like a good idea to have it all mixed in.

Nice idea but not sure of the shelf life or whether my girls will get through a 20kg sack it before it goes off - could be an expensive way of doing it for my 8 so I still mix my own

[The Dogmother]

They do it in 10kg sacks too; I get one and it lasts my chooks for 2 dosing sessions. I order it directly from Marriages and it's best to ring them as I don't think you can order from the site.

Mine arrived the next day.

[Tutti Frutti]

Thanks DM, I didn't know that! When I run out of my massive 240g tub of 2.5%, I'll switch to that, as mixing it up is something I don't look forward to (or enjoy clearing up after when I've dropped the pellets I'm shaking ),

That's why I switched to pre-mixed pellets... that and the time factor.
