Flubenvet 1% - need help feeding my girls!!!!!

[hali74]

Hiii guys,

I've recently noticed my girls losing weight - the last three days to be precise - it's so bad that I can pinch their breast bone :/

I think it might be worms so I've ordered flubenvet.

My girls don't touch their pellets at all! So I've been feeding them boiled white rice

They've been laying well and consistently - clean eggs..

I suspect worms but could it also be due to them not eating their pellets but just the white rice I give?


Also how should I feed them flubenvet?? Only mixed with pellets? Which il have to leave for days cos they won't touch them or can I mix It in with their rice they eat?



Help please!

Is the feed fresh? You could try mixing the pellets with water and see if they'll eat that.

Yep I'm always chucking the old pellets - water doesn't work ...

White rice doesn't have much nutrition. ... is there something else. ... grain. .. oats that they'll eat?

I'll give them oats! Thanks

Have you tried different feed like crumbles? They really need a well balanced diet. Get some BOSS for a high protein snack. Most are crazy for the BOSS.
When you're done worming try some plain yogurt to get some healthy probiotics back in their gut.
