Dahato3 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Just a quick question once again...... My existing chickens are due to be wormed so we have bought a sack of marriages layers pellets with flubenvet. I also have in an adjacent run a mixture of frizzles and pekins some of which I plan to keep, some I plan to move on. They are all 11 weeks old. Should I feed them the same food to worm them as well or are they too young? Any advice much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good_egg Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Aren't the marriages pellets layers - I would have thought they were too young for to be off growers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahato3 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yes they are layers pellets but before I go ahead and treat all of the others I just wondered if they would benefit from a dose of worming treatment at the same time or whether they are too young for a dose of flubenvet. They have been outside in a separate pen adjacent to the others. I suspect they maybe too young and have always waited in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Personally I'd wait until they are older, or ask your vet about worming them with Panacur*. You can get growers with Flubenvet, but only in large quantities as we use them for the pheasant poults. *not licensed for use on poultry in the UK.
