First worming

[Leader Bee]

Any advice on when to give goslings their first dose of worming medication? I believe it's Flubenvet?
one week old? older?

Thanks!

Opinions will vary around here, but geese are very hardy birds and imp shouldn't be wormed unless needed. If they aren't walking around in there own feces all-day and arent penned up they should be fine.

Thanks @MasterOfClucker. It was my suspicion I should only worm as needed but this will be my first time keeping geese and I was going to treat it similar to a vaccination in that it would be best to pre-emtively worm them once every 6 months or so, but if they don't need it then they don't need it I guess?

You're Welcome! I don't worm mine so, I'm clueless as far as what you would use in case they did get some. @casportpony might be able to help you with that.
