Yes, I understand. If it were just me and my family I wouldn’t be too concerned, but I do sell a few dozen each week, most though I give away. I am down in egg numbers with only my 12 pullets and a handful of molting hens still laying. I’ve definitely got some real troupers. My RIR, BPR, BCM and a WPR/Wellie mix are all still laying, right through molt. They’ve certainly impressed me.
Thank you for mentioning this. I did almost do that this morning.
A shame you didn't get a few pictures of one of your moulting hens laying an egg. You could have helped put another stupid piece of common knowledge in it s grave.
In the US, when fenbendazole is given at 1 mg/kg for five days in a row there is a zero day egg withdrawal. It is the only de-wormer in the US approved for laying hens.
I will say that the four that are still laying aren’t “nekked” like some are, but nonetheless they are molting.
Oh, if they are molting you should not use Safeguard because it can cause feather damage.
Take some pictures and enter this contest:
Most of them here except of course pullets in their first lay cycle moult and stop laying around the same time so it's easy to draw the wrong conclusion.
So I guess it’s safe to say I should wait until my birds are feathered out before worming them.
