Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Scrambles83]

Soak the wormer into some bread or something similar that she likes and then feed it to her directly. This is a great way to make sure they get the full dose.

So soak something in it undiluted and try to get her to eat it?

Yes. But you need to get the dose right. You have kilverm, correct?

What make is the wormer?
Is it a powder or a liquid?
What is the dosage in ml or grams?
No, trying to feed chickens after they gone to roost often doesn't work. They tend to be reluctant to eat ime.

It’s a liquid. Although not on the bottle, the site says you can dose neat at 1.75ml per kg of live weight.

Sounds like my birthday tomorrow will be spent checking poop and stressing over things

Simple then. I was just looking at my label for the neat dose. I'm going to write that on my bottle.

Thanks haha, might employ a towel in some sort of grab and secure action

I’m up with the roosters this morning. Wow are they loud today

Correct.

Beat the sun up and pluck her off the roost.
