Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[MaxBaz]

I have 10 wonderful girls who are wormed every 3 months or so to make sure they are kept as healthy as I can....... BUT I have one very very greedy girl who is forever eating snails/worms/slugs etc and generally digging about for insects and these quarterly treatments aren't enough for her.

 

How do I worm a single chicken more frequently? Think I read a while ago that a tiny tiny bit of Flubenvent sprinkled on a grape and fed to that specific chicken for the normal 7 days would work? I don't want the other 9 to be over-medicated if I can possibly help it.....

 

thanks

I had a girl broody sat on eggs years go and when she came out and had a poo I noticed there was a worm in it so I cut a grape in half like you have said dipped the cut side in flubenvet and fed her one every day for 7 days seem to do the trick leanne

If you need to worm one, then you will need to worm all of them as she will be shedding oocysts in her droppings, which the others will pick up.
