Brooding hen has chicks in nesting box

[Isabel]

Hi

 

Just a few quick ones!

 

Firstly, where does everyone buy their medicated wormer pellets (Marriages) - can't recall where I got them before and need to shop around for reasonable shipping rates to Northern Ireland - no stockists here.

 

Secondly, my girls are overdue worming and two have runny poos. However, if I worm them next week, will it do them any harm to have another course of pellets around 2 weeks later when Mama Hen leaves her chicks?

 

If it will, any suggestions about how I can worm Mama Hen separately - I'm guessing the chicks shouldn't get it?

 

Many thanks
