SueChick Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Ok so I have started the week from hell which is worming week! They are already behaving like half starved prisoners. Anyway, I was wondering how best to prevent re infestation with worms/eggs as they expel them? I have a ground sanitizer which I can rake into the bedding during this week and poo pick as much as possible but when should I change the bedding for fresh? Mid-week or at the end if the week? When do you think most worms would be expelled - ie, is it a build up of product through the week and therefore most likely the end of the week would be the worst for worm loaded bedding or is it usually more of a quicker clearout than that? I haven't seen any evidence of worms but I know that means nothing with chooks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I would change it as you usually do. They may not have worms and they could get them at any time. As long as you have a good worming regime all should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yes they should be fine, I have mine on hardwood chips which last 6 months or more so I just use stalosan regularly as well as poo picking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
