chicken wormers

[stanlypolecat]

i was wondering how often you should worm the birds
and wat was the best product to use as all my bird free range for all the daylight hours any sugestions thanks

every 3 months and if you have a lot of birds i.e over about 10, then it is more cost effective to use flubenvet in th efeed rather than Verm-X. there is another thread on here about flubenvet, have a look over that for advice on the product!

a 60g tub cost around £15-20 and treats 20kg of feed for 7 days or theereabouts

I paid £12 for 240g of Flubenvet last year from a horsey place and it's use by date is 10/2012. The tub will last longer than the use by date. Please don't waste your time with Verm-X. It's expensive and didn't work on my chooks.

do the eggs have to be thrown as it is chemical wormer and does anyone have the tel no for horsey place asuming its a supplyer

[Bramble-Poultry]

there is no egg withdrawl on flubenvet, it is a chemically safe wormer. It is teh most effective of the wormers out there and also cheaest

It is widely available, all agricultural merchants and equestrian suppliers should stock it, ever online supplier stocks it and so will your vet.

So find your nearest agric merchant, feed supplier and pop along they should have it - if not ring your vet, or go online.

hoep that helps
