Hi Miss Lydia, I didn't know how to ask you specifically a question about the herbal worming formula you use. So...I answered this old thread.
I want to order some but all she has is the 1 lb. bags of each (no formula kit). Should I go ahead and order (in anticipation of more regular laying as winter ends) and use it as described in the instructions? It will last a long time for my 3, I think - hopefully staying fresh.
Also, I assume I might not want to eat the eggs until a point in time when they are pretty sure of being sans worms. How might (through observation) I determine that?
Thanks for your reply!

I have never worried about my waterfowl being wormy. They would have to be kept in horrid conditions to get worms. Of course you could always take some poo into the vets to have them check for worms if you’d feel better. I give the herbal mainly for my chickens but since they all eat together they all get wormed. I use #1 monthly 3 days in a row and #2 weekly. It should last a good while I since you only have the 3. Wait till spring and you have 2 Scovy females going broody ( and that’s a given) are you going to let them hatch?
