Chickens do need to be wormed on a regular basis. I am saddened to hear recently of chickens dying from worms and secondary infections. Treating your birds every 3 to 6 months will be ideal and hopefully keep them heatly pets and good egg layers, not worming your chickens may and often does lead to fatalities.

Worming chickens is easy, you can use flubenvet which is a powder, I mix the daily dose with cod liver oil and mixed corn so it sticks and I know it will be consumed quickly and with cod liver oil i am also giving the birds a good conditioner. As it has oil on it I do not feed with the normal feed, I have a seperate area for the treated feed.

If this is too much for you dont worry there is a chicken wormer called Verm-X which you add to the water, it is not as good as flubenvet but if you stick to the treatment as advised on the label, regular use will keep internal parasites at bay.

Bout products are available in our shop or others do sell them, please where evey you get them from use them as guided and keep your chickens healthy, they deserve it.
